charlycuervo Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, greetings from Argentina. I learned to fretwork at 8 y.o. with my grandpa, who was a Basque cabinetmaker and luthier. Several year ago I took the chance of work in metal besides wood. I wish to introduce my latest works: Eagle head pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver. I can't remember who's the pattern author. Clover pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver filled with malachite powder. This is a knife handle, made of a local wood called lapacho and nickel silver. Another knife handle, made of carob tree and nickel silver. This is a "bombilla" (metal straw for a local hot drink called "mate") made of nickel silver decorated with a metal rosebud. A little pendant. Native style bird, fretwork in nickel silver, mounted on a staghorn slice. I hope you like my work. If this post does not belong to this place, please move it where appropiate. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Plater%C3%ADa-y-Cuchiller%C3%ADa-Ceibo-Blanco/352999141533735 Edited July 4, 2015 by charlycuervo amazingkevin, Mimi and Kris Martinson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
