Thread: Mother of Pearl and others...

Wow! Those look beautiful. Very nice work.

Great job, they all are stunning. I don't think I can pick a favorite.

Hey,

I have a question about the 5 panel razor. I have sheets of real MOP tile left over from my kitchen remodel. How thick are the panels? The tiles are 1 inch X 1 inch. I haven't made my own scales yet, but there is a lot of the material left over.

I sent a sheet out to Dirtychrome to see if he is able to figure something out.

All of them are stunning, but the Giraffe bone scales really draw me in. Excellent work as always!

Where in Pa do you live?
I use 1 X 2 inch slabs and sand them down to about 1 - 1.5 MM. Feel free to ask any questions if you decide to try it. Show some pics too

Well done to you, I like them all but the first and last razor would be my pick from the rest.

Jamie.

Very beautiful razors. You made a good work, as usual.

I dig all of those, but many know I'm a sucker for shell, so those really catch my eye.

The seams of abalone appear nonexistant. Almost as if made from one piece of shell. The other seams with out the silver border look tight too.

I also like the silver treatment between the seams. Adds a nice accent. The turquoise and MOP I would have been hesitant to do, but it looks like a natural fit. Breaks up the all MOP, adding a neat focal point.

Love to see more angles of the black mop. I know how hard it is to capture in a pic. That type of shell has all those lovely greens and pinks, with the black and white. Suspect you can hold it in hand, twisting to look at from different angles, mesmerized by all sorts of color changes.

Don't know how you had time to get these done. Between summer stuff, visiting Robert Williams great to see you could get these out too. Thanks for doing them and sharing the pics

Wowww Steve,
I have a hard time picking one I like. They're all fabulous. I like them all, each with a personality of her own. Well done

Northumberland in Northumberland county. I'm at work at the moment...I'll take some pics. We used the MOP for the backsplash of our kitchen. The tiles come in sheets.
