Jewelry Art metalwork. Nenana Alaska handcrafted unique gift necklaces earrings buckle for sale - retail and wholesale
My cabin, where much of the finish work is done
My shop, where the main work is done and all my supplies are
left The main tools I use to do my metal art work. All designs are hand drawn with the 10,000 year old ivory artifact 'bladder float stopper' that I turned into a scribe. The design is then hand cut with this antique late 1800's' jewelers saw. A 6 inch grizzly claw seen here is my scraper cutter tool handle. The ivory whale is my gem bezel burnisher. The engravers are all hand made blades with unique handles that fit my hand perfect. Everything you will be seeing on these pages was created with these tools to the left.

In general special service is welcome
but may cost more. Better to buy it off the shelf! (shop cart) Stuff not with a shop cart icon is like I unloaded a full truck in the yard and have not had time to know what I even have (or made) not really thought about it yet. I make something, it is done- off my mind, I scandisk and defrag for more ram on the next one of a kind project. . My mind focuses on what to make next. Cut and paste me a picture so I have a clue what you are talking about. I might have it but might not be able to find it easy or might have something similar or can make one similar. But the more of my time you occupy, and the more you tell me what to do, the more it cost.
