It's a method reserved for "people" who offer unneccessary sarcastic answers rather than intelligent and to the point ones.......As for pissing up a rope and standing under it, is this how you guys take showers in the Southern Rockies?

Probably north African. I've seen many of these, can't say they float my boat. :haha:Cosmoline said:Here's one example of MOP use I rather like, but they're just polished inlays
wildeagle said:It depends on what the inlay is for. For pure decoration MoP was used extensively. Look at fire arms of the middle east, the gaudier the better. I have thousands of old buttons, about 25% are MoP. Out of that 25% about thirty are decorated. I don't believe they are engraved per se, more like ground or abraded. Shell can be etched , covered with wax , design scratched through the wax, then acid applied. Remove the wax and you are left with design cut into the surface of the shell. Abalone was used alot in the NW by the NA's , also in the SW by Hopi, Pueblo, ect. To each his own, I would look into a little more research before using it, to make sure it fits into the scheme of things. I do think that design would work in silver, it would be easier to engrave, easy to cut out with a jewelers saw, and safer to work with health wise. Just my to cents, up late and rattling on. As a side note , There are a few opininated knotheads everywhere in life, just choose to ignore them and life becomes a little more pleasant. :blah:
