[corian king]

Hello all!! These are my first trys at pendant making.I saw the backer plate that richard sells on here and I purchased one.I will tell you it is well worth the money.I was hoping to get some of your opinions as to if I am on the right track or not. Thanks!

Nice looking pendants...i'm kinda curious though what the material is..?

 

[corian king]

Hello Thanks for the compliment. There is a very small hole drilled and the clasp opens up and has two pins on it that push back though the pendant.

Three of the pendants are made from avonites studio collection whic the picture really doesn't show but this material is transparent and really sparkels in the light. The 4th pendant is made from a hudson product called mystera.The color is (buckskin)

Jim, those are all stunning pieces. What tool(s) are you using to turn avonite?:wink:

 

[corian king]

I turn the avonite the same as everything else.I use the rotondo and a skew.
Thanks for the compliment!
