JonboyUSMC's Lava Tanks

[jonboyusmc]

I'm going to more in the future. I'm getting some solid carbide tools to handle the stone. It's hard to work with, but I think the end result was worth the effort. Nothing even compares to them in person. The super fine marbleizing in them, really sets them apart from the other tanks.

Seems completely reasonable. Do you plan to do more chaorite stone or other stone tanks in the future? Or are they just not worth the effort?

wow. I need molten bronze and cocobolo! Mercury is a good place to start.

You're missing Ever1ast on there

Will fix it now. strprswpr how did you forget Ever1ast?

 

[jonboyusmc]

Mercury has a lot of silver in it. What sets them apart is they are very translucent, which gives them a lot of depth.

mercury looks a lot more silver than glacier is it just the photo.

I think the elf king would kill me if I had a change of heart after seeing the final products, but I am having second thoughts about grape vines... They're gorgeous, but not what I had pictured from the old rough shot we had a week ago.

 

[Grammie]

The Mercury looks super on every mod!

 

[jonboyusmc]

Cocobolo didn't fare well. It's slowly staining from the inside out. I'll be ordering some stabilized burl wood after the dust settles from tomorrow night.

Wow, inserts just not hackin it... I've never dealt with anything like stone on a mill/lathe but that's crazy.

Those tanks are all simply beautiful! I'd be happy with any color......except the all black. Wait....who am I kidding, I'd even be happy with the black.

 

[scubasteve25]

[Vegastar]

These are all amazing. It's hard to choose, really. Gonna pm the undersecretary and break his list again poor guy. I feel bad.

 

[Jaybo272]

They look beautiful Jon. Congrats to everyone on the list and good luck to those hoping to score tomorrow night. I'm thrilled with the magenta bliss tank I have and will wait until later on to try to score another. I got the urge for a tiny mod and after reading here over and over I ordered a glv mini..now I wait...
