BuckEye Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I found this great piece of Alley flame cullet so I thought I would try out some lapidary skill on it and see what happens. First I split the piece in two. This made matching but inverse flames patterns. The glass polished up well on my lapidary wheels. The hardest part was gluing on the bails. I think they came out ok for the first try. Hope you guys like them. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Wow, Craig, you're full of surprises. Those are great! How long did it take you to shape and polish them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks everyone. Ric, I started them in July lol, but I only did one side. I decided that was unacceptable and did both sides of each. Total time in the wheels was probably only a few hours. Just been busy etc....There were a few micro scratches I couldn't get out but that happens as you take away layers. Do you want a huge belt buckle???!!!

Ric Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I don't know about huge, but a belt buckle from nice Alley cullet is something I would wear, for sure. A couple of nice lapel pins would also be great. PM me a quote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
