Title: pendant?
Post by: Stringman on May 09, 2013, 03:24:02 pm

Knocked this little side notched out of some really nice Burlington yesterday. Thought I'd try to make a necklace pendant out of it. Whadya think, too big?

I made my wife one like that and she said it was too big for her.  But I like it, that Burlington is pretty. And thanks for those pieces you gave me.

Thanks Eddie, probably alot would depend on the quality of the necklace and the size of the person.

Nope, Bob. Just a nail notcher. The rock was working extremely well and the base was pretty thin so notching went easy.

Great looking point.  Wear it or kill something with it.  Looks good either way.
