<\/a><\/p>\nTo ensure that the letter would really stand out when it was sweated down, I put a light pattern on the spoon body with a pattern roller.\u00a0 The maker was to approximate where I wanted the letter and the pattern.<\/p>\n
As an aside, while I was piercing the B, I managed to get the saw blade twisted 90 degrees in the frame and make a small botched cut really late in the game.\u00a0 I was able to salvage it however, and I think it came out well.\u00a0 If I hadn’t said anything I think it would go completely unnoticed.<\/p>\n Solder flowed onto the back of the letter, pickled, and lightly sanded.<\/p>\n The B was sweated in place on the pattern, and the flanking areas cleaned with 4F pumice for the Keum Boo.<\/p>\n After Keum Boo application.\u00a0 The argentium turned yellow in the pumiced areas like the last time<\/a> I did this.<\/p>\n The general shape cut out.<\/p>\n In a very fortunate turn, the shop had some stakes for spoons, and there was one the appropriate shape and size.\u00a0 I sank the spoon a bit in a hollow in a stump, then formed it over a stake.\u00a0 I forgot to get a pic of the sweet stake.\u00a0 Then a bit of preliminary polishing.<\/p>\n The main bending was done on a small bracelet mandrel, and then a final polish.\u00a0 Here i the final product, aggressively cropped in the light booth.\u00a0 I was in a bit of a hurry, as I said before, and the pics were shitty, so I had to really cut it down to hide the booth itself.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
