mcraigl Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Made this letter opener for my Aunt's birthday. First thing I've made from a pattern welded billet. Sorry for the crappy pix. It's really hard to get a decent photo of the pattern. I need to do more experimentin' with the digicam. These seemed to be the best of what I took last night. Used the black and white mode, and put the opener on a sheet of lime green paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easilyconfused Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I love simple pieces. It's so hard to make something simple but I find it more appealing than busy pieces. Must be the prairie boy in me. Beauty in nothing but wide open spaces and sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcraigl Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 5 layers of mild and 6 layers of L-6, doubled and twisted, so 22 layers. My first solo pattern welded billet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
