Oh, Okay Ron,

Guess I jumped the gun there. Looks good. That cutting and grinding tool is neat but be careful you don't cut into your thumbnail . Looks a bit close tolerance work there.

Wow, that is some fine looking work Ron!!! I was going to ask if you cut out the pearl yourself or was it from one of the eastern suppliers on ebay. I guess your photos answered that for me. Great job, heck I think you just might make a harp/guitar builder after all.

No doubts here,
Joe
