July 29, 201015 yr Thought you might like to see this, its my 3rd try at a lined ring, the steel is from a bar of mosaic damascus, 15n20 & 1080. The liner is 925 sterling silver. Its my first commisioned piece, and the first thing ive ever made Ive sold ! much harder working to an exact size All feedback appreciated
July 29, 201015 yr You done good! Very nice job on the liner and on the Damascus. It's a lot harder than one would think to get a ring to the exact size but when you're working with two different bands it gets problematic, excellent job!
July 29, 201015 yr John, Absolutely stunning!! I can't quit looking at the pics, trying to imagine the process. You've nailed it, as it seems!! Very nice work! :)
July 29, 201015 yr That is fantastic! So much so I want one! Feel like making another? PM me a price, if you want to do another. Jeff
July 29, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the nice words ! Jeff, Im a bit time poor (well, time starved) at the moment so dont want to commit to making any more hobby stuff, Ill drop you a PM next time I get some nice steel made though, guessing 2011 at this rate very flattered, thanks for asking!

July 31, 201015 yr No real words to express the beauty of what you have done. Be nice if you had photos of the process - make a wonderful BP! It's almost magical.
July 31, 201015 yr john that ring is amazing! it is very tricky to size rings especially how you done it! respect that is absolutely beautiful :)
August 1, 201015 yr Truly stunning. I'm not much of a jewelry wearer, but if I had that I don't think I would take it off.
