I am making a trade with @manbuckwal, he sent me a flat rate envelope full of cutoffs of various sweet woods (some buckeye, YCB, HRB, amboyna, etc.) and is going to see if he has some of his olive burl that didnt dry so well (cracks) he could send me and maybe a couple successfully dried pieces (once they dry) in return for some earrings from buckeye. So I am posting some of the earrings I have made recently so you can let me know what shape you think your wife might like and also some pictures of some of the buckeye you sent me that I bookmatch cut here so you can pick the figure section you want the earrings cut out of. Ill probably make you 2 sets of earrings and throw in a rosewood carving too since you already sent me a box and will be trying to dig me up some successfully and unsuccessfully dried Olive burl at some time (My wife just LOVES that stuff!) Hope this sounds ok! The metal is all sterling silver that I wrap from sterling wire I bought . I make the ear wires too from the same sterling so they wont cause any kind of reaction. Let me know what you think!
