Thread: Pearl shell laminate

Well it turned out OK. Shell laminate on 1/16" wood with blue plastic liners.

The shell stinks when sanding, like having teeth drilled, yuk.

Gary,

Those turned out really well. I really like those pearl scales.

Ed

OMG Those are awesome! With scales like that and others you have been making, I think you should have yourself a nice home business going! Very impressed!!!

JL, you want wood on your workedback don't you ?

I told you you have complete artistic freedom...besides I dont know how much work goes into different scales and I would hate to see you slaving over anything for me. As long as its pretty, Im happy

JL, thanks for the praise but I'm not sure I can bow and scrape just yet.

Bill aka Urleebird is a professional.

Vlad should be but can't afford to.

Me, I'm just a hobbyist.

When I get to the stage when I think I'm close I may make and sell a few. They are certainly improvements on the standard plastic scales and some I've made I'm very proud of.

When you get yours and a few others arrive then I will accept feedback and comments. Nothing I've sold to date covers the costs of the scales or the time involved so I feel pretty good not pretending to be something I'm not.

Bill and Vlad will tell you how much time and effort goes in to making scales and I wouldn't get out of bed for the sallary / income they return. I do it because I like it. I haven't been this motivated for ages and it's mostly due to all of the members on SRP for their help and encouragement.

What can I say absolutely PEEEEEERFEEEEEEECT
Kind regards Peter
PS use a good respirator and have a bucket of water handy to keep every thing wet therefore minimizing the dust , that stuff is deadly.Also while were on the subject red bean and black bean,both OZ woods ,the dust will make your lungs bleed
