That's beautiful Herb. Tell us your secret. How do you set the abalone in the handle? Is that a tiny gold braid chain used as a decorative tag, Your craftsmanship is always exceptional! Keep those beauties coming!

Really nice Pat. I'd like to know where you got the supplies and the steps you took to complete this work of art.

There are several sources for abalone, but I use Matrix (www.matrix-z.com) 800-657-7866. They sell abalone sheets with an adhesive back. This is my first attempt at using abalone so I still have a lot to learn. Understand Joe Emig is going to cover this subject at High Point in Feb.
