Another winner Sam.

[@TheBergy32]

Pretty neat. The turquoise makes a nice color contrast with the darker manzanita.

[@AsWoodTurns]

So do you buy jewelry then crush it yourself? Do you know if they sell pre-crushed turquoise?

[@alisabethnash7702]

Lots of places sell pre-crushed turquoise. www.woodcraft.com, www.amazon.com, www.craftsupplyusa.com, www.penstateind.com, etc.

Jennifer Gonzales - I sell crushed Kingman turquoise if you need. The stone comes from just a few minutes away from where I live and I crush it.

Can you provide a bit more info on the electric engraver. I looked all over the internet for a Living Art Engrave to no avail. Is there a model number or the exact name of the store you bought it at? Thanks!

I am making a Cain with turquoise inlay , what is best way to sand down Cain to make turquoise flush.....?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Deborah, I find turquoise very difficult to sand. I use it to fill voids in wood primarily. The surrounding wood is always softer. Consequently as I try to sand the turquoise, the wood also is effected by the sanding. I have seen a sanding disk which is made from diamond and that works well. I just never bought any-and I don't really know where to find it. I saw this in a video. Sam

please show your work when there done, love it

I'm gonna try opal powder inlay. I don't really know what kind of stone Turquoise is. But Opal got a real nice shine and deep color. I want to try to glue it with thin epoxy resin. Because i found that super glue is kinda brittle. And epoxy is really strong and heat resistant. I have not tried it jet but i expect this month or maybe next month to try it out. It wil be on my KZbin channel. Fail or no fail it wil be shown. Greetings,, Kitty.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Kitty, Have fun with the inlays....I agree with the thin CA glue. I like to apply 2-3 layers of my inlay material. This seems to work well. Sam

[@maxboonkittypoison]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Awesome! It sure is fun to make gorgeous things :)

[@SkunkTreeCarvings]

good stuff..!

[@dax6988]

I'm watching your past videos and I just noticed that (please forgive me if this comes out wrong) you have your fingers still. When did you loose your finger tips?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Beverly That's fine. I get a bit of a shock when I back and watch one when I had more fingers. It was February 6, 2015. And at the same time it rather irritates me that I did it. But thanks for watching. Sam

[@joshuapotter7372]

I sell real Kingman turquoise that I crush myself if you ever need any. My prices are just a bit higher than what you find online but my stone comes from just a few minutes from my home and I crush it myself. I can provide videos of me making it and the source stone. I'm open to trades as well. I can provide crushed, raw, stabilize, ribbons, slabs, and natural stabilized stone.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Thanks I will keep your offer in mind. Sam

[@d.m.6397]
