Brent: mother of pearl covers.
Apr. 15th, 2012 06:00 pmFirst of all, the question for $100,000 - black pearl?

Or white pearl?

Definetly white, black is being "swallowed" by the damascus pattern. Thanks to the previous project, I have 2 perfect pieces of mother of pearl. They are extremely high quality and very expensive.

But before I start to mess with it, little something I need to do. I took a masking tape and covered center holes in the round pieces from the inside:

Then filled them up with black epoxy. I used regular clear 5-min one with a drop of black acrylic ink.

This will prevent light from shining through the mother of pearl when it will be glued in.
Back to work, update hopefully today.
