Bracelet and bridle bits

[castagnos&s]

Here are my latest projects, the nevada cheek bit is my first project entirely relief engraved. the santa barbara cheek spade is a little more subtle than some but i kind of like the effect of the filligreed overlays with the conchos on blued steel. They are number seven and eight to date. The bracelet is 14g. sterling and about the tenth one or so i have done. I would apreciate your feed back. Thanks, Mike

I like the carving on the bracelet. The lack of border on it is different. I like it.The concho on the spade is interesting also. keep making and keep posting I like your work.

Real nice work. I love 14 gauge sterling and a real nice touch, to reduce the square edge, is to round the back on a 400 or 600 grit belt then polish. After you form it on the mandrel it has a nice shape to it on the inside and is much more comfortable for a lady to wear....especially at that weight.

Regards,

Chris
