Mokume Begleri beads

[WValtakis]

So I finally got my lathe out of storage and whipped these out. Some copper/nickel/brass mokume I've had laying around for years, with a heavy etch for lots of texture. I melted the ends of the paracord into a counterbore then covered with glowpowder for funsies . These things are super addictive, it's all the fun of flipping a Bali without the getting cut when you mess up

I want one. Would you sell me a set?

Please don't discuss sales outside of the exchange or PMs/email.

Got tired of replacing the Paracord when it got fuzzy, so I turned some titanium bead posts with tritium grooves

[Don't drop it.]

you do some nice work.

Thanks, they're very entertaining when you're bored and have some time to kill. Miss and whack yourself in the knuckle and you feel it though

I make some out of paracord but those are pretty cool.

Do you have any pictures?

I'm a victim of the Photobucket fiasco... I'll try to get the originals going again,but here's the current version with Ti beadposts and Tritium.

I don't understand these things. They're like fidget spinners, but they take skill, and they can snag/break easier. At least spinners are silly AND idiot proof
