Finished the sword handle. Super proud of the way this one turned out. Inlay of sodalite, aventurine, and turquoise.

This thing really shines when you turn it in light. I have a video, but it's a touch to large to share here.

Red jasper inlaid in ash with a cherry liner. Yup, I still do non-carved bentwood rings, too. :)

Continued progress on this. Most of the stone inlay of sodalite and aventurine is in place. Still need to add some fill-in stones and fill that infinity symbol.

Aventurine is a tough stone to sand/grind. Had to break out the Dremel.
