Xmas Gift for the Wife

[Mojave Green]

After making a abalone shell blank for his wife, I decided I needed to make one for my wife. I settled on a Jr. Anthony in Black Ti & Gold on a Ron's Paua Mexican Green Abalone blank. I used much finesse turning it, and it was so worth it. Wet sanded to 22k then hit it with the polish. It's sitting under the tree now.

Very nice work . The different colours visible as you take in the sides grab your eye.

I am sure she will appreciate it

That's a real beauty.

What a stunner! Perfect pairing of the abalone colors with the kit metals.

Thank you. Our local craft store is going out of business, so I picked up some different pattern squares to use as backgrounds.

Wonderful turned blank and a kit that I really liked. Well done.

Beautiful work and I am partial to the Jr. Anthony.

Did you disguise the box by wrapping it and putting it in another box, and wrapping that, and...?

I used to mess with my wife because she always would pick up the boxes to shake them and inspect for clues. One year, I put an empty scotch tape dispenser in with something and just left it loose in there. It drove her crazy.
