5 Feet of sterling silver wire

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

This is what 5 feet of sterling silver wire looks like when you turn it into pins. I have not counted how many there are but it is a lot. The scales are Curly Maple that came form the Moran shop.

Did you just take a class on this stuff? Thats alot of pins!!

No class, this was my solution to everyone I spoke with saying that the scales were too thin to do traditional wire inlay on.

Wow, Chuck! That's awesome, buddy.
I think it worked out great.
But there's two of them there that are closer together than the other ones.......

Chuck doesn't need a class - now he's gonna teach one!

Haha, cool. Post up the knife when you finish.

Chuck, I am quite a bit older than you and I never developed the patience to do something that looks so time consuming. I like the look.
