Splain that press with the sun and island?

Lon

Hi Lon,

Thanks for asking.


1). The blank is prepared, annealed, sanded
2). The sky is hand hammered.
3). The Water is a die requiring about 5 presses to create the illusion
4). The Scooner is one Die. Some engraving may augment
5). The Island and Palm is one die. Some engraved detail may augment
6). The Sun is one Die
7). The Sea bird is one Die.
8). The scalloped edge is hand hammered.
9). The token is machine buffed
10). The token is cleaned of buffing compound in crevasses etc.
11). Token is drilled at some point. Varies with token
12). Wire is hand hammer embossed
13). Wire is hand wrapped and attached
14). Some Pendants are patina’d and lacquered
15). Gary wonders how anyone could feel $60-85 is excessive

Thanks Lon

Each time you touch the token with a Die/Hammer/Graver, you risk ruining the whole thing. Each time you say ... “I’ll get one later”, you risk there not being a “later.”
