Scorpio Ring in 14k white and yellow gold - Lee's Ring



This is another of the design I like to make.  
This one is special.  
It was created by combining two wedding rings.  


14K Yellow and White Gold




The two rings belonged to two family friends.  The husband passed away last year.  She is planning to wear it as a thumb ring.


This was made in my studio in Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA

Flight Light Fixture - Ohia, Kamani and Sitka Spruce


This is my attempt to make a 1960's light fixture for my kitchen

I've been locked out of my jeweler's studio - So, I have been doing woodworking in my garage.  
Dang old Covid 19


Here is the photo from my Artist Registry Page at Gallery One.




The pictures aren't very good, but I will eventually install it and get better pictures.

The woods are Ohia and Kammani that I brought back from Hawaii and Sitka Spruce that I brought back from Alaska.  You know, the 49th and 50th states.











CalDawg Helped me with pictures and I was goofing off taking pictures of him.  Jodi liked it.

Construction Photos:



Wood!  These are Ohia and Kamanni from Hawaii and Sitka Spruce from Alaska.

None of the boards were long enough, because I brought them back from vacations in Hawaii and Alaska, so I had to piece them all together.  This is after cutting the basic shapes out.

This was figuring out spacing for the LED light bulbs.

This is the Kamanni and figuring out how to get a sweep shape.
