I've been working on a pair of William Henry Knives scales, in a Japanese-style Koi and Waves theme.
The scales are 416 stainless steel, inlaid with 24k gold, and 14k green and red gold. These were a lot of fun, and a real education in the green and red gold inlays. The green wasn't too bad, but the red was eye-opening. I found the red gold just laughed at my brass punch, but I finally kicked it's derriere with a steel punch and my Lindsay Nitro G-20. It's not laughing now...
You can see a full, blow-by-blow ad-nauseum work-in-progress here: http://sterlingsculptures.com/wp/?p=4032

Thanks for looking!
