Looks good so far B52!
Yeah Mike that's looking good... good luck!
If I would have stayed at it... after getting to pinning with perfect amber wedges 3 times i called it quits. But I'll try again at some point.
The properties of amber from different places on earth has variation, so i may try some from other places... perhaps less brittle?.. maybe.
Gentle taps.. annealed pins?
You can do it!
One of my amber wedges broke do to the surface being not perfectly flat so when I pinned it... snap.
I've been contacting sources of bog wood.
50% don't return emails! Sheesh you would think they'd want business.
50% don't have larger pieces or seem unwilling to cut larger pieces.
Anybody know a good company??? I'll keep trying but am getting a little flustered.
There is a lot of wood around here but not your desired bog wood. I hope you get some.

Maybe he can get the size you are looking for.
Good luck Mike.
I saw that one, it might work, when I saw it two days ago I figured if the suppliers don't work out..
But yes, tip cut down for scales those bigger pieces would be much more cheap..
