Well, I've seen the wax, and I've seen the head. And I wish I had taken photos of both of them. What blows my mind, is that he carves everything. And has done so with everything he's made for 30 years. I'm used to new fangled laser tech and printers. I'm a little uneasy-but that's only because i'm not used to a real craftsman working on my pieces. We spent over an hour going through every detail down to discussing the chemistry of the shade of the gold and alchemy to get it there from 10, 12, and 14 kt and all the alloys inbetween. What a journey this is. My original band is now 5x thicker [realizing mount st helens of a stone would look ridiculous on such a thin band] and he even carved out in detail the sides as if he knew I wanted it tapered in-between the side stones and the center. I'm sorry for the lack of photos ps'ers. We'll have to wait another 2-4 weeks on this. When I tried on the wax, there was 0 real estate left from the bottom to the top of the knuckle. You'll see what I mean when it's finished..can't wait!
