Thank you again, gentlemen. I've been banding for about six months, but jewelry in general since 1978. I haven't been taking pictures of the regular band repair jobs, because they've usually been just plain gold or silver bands on customer pipes, nothing fancy.
These two were for myself, using some antique briars that were given to me by the local briary owner, in exchange for doing some other metalwork. These were the first that I have gotten creative with, but I will have more pictures as I do more of this type work.
However, I have made custom eyeframes in silver and gold for reenactors and folks that just want something different.
If you would like something unique, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. It has been fun melding my work in metals and stones with my passion for pipes.
