Examples, D-way beading tool

[Ralph Lindberg]

Here are some handles I added beading to with Dave's beading tools. These are soft Maple

The smallest bead is the 1/16 tool

What they are, is handles for Wax Seal emblems, the people wanted them "busy", so...

Ralph, some nice work! Looks like you burned the grooves between the grooves, too.

Thanks for the photos Ralph. Is there much of a learning curve to using these Dways? . I have a set of Sorby beading tools and I can't seem to get the hang of using them. I keep "clipping" off the crown of the bead..These seem to be a different configuration than the Sorbys> Thanks for your thoughts.

Nice! Note to self: I really don't need beading tools...really. I mean it would be helpful in many regards for all sorts of projects, and even speed things up. I don't NEED them, yet they would save time and up my compentency some, but even though time is $$ do I need them? hmmmmmmmmmmm. OK, I want them. There I said it. D-way coming my way :o:p

I know what you mean, Michael. I took a homemade beading tool over to Jim Adkins the other day, but after watching Jim use the D-way's, I'm thinking an order with D-way is in my future.
