yes it is mosaic pins and when i ran my sander over them i guess it got to hot and melted the brass and the shape did not look like a star anymore.but thanks that info does help me.laurence also would a scroll saw work cutting those pins?
I noticed that when i sand over my texas star pins it grinds the star shape off.what do you do? Also what is the best way to cut the pins and cut them to the right length .:(
440c is a good steel but you still have to take care of it .it needs wiped clean after use .when you modeling clay there is a lot of water used so the tools need wiped cleaned after every use..
these are my two first knife builds i used 440c stainless steel one with camel bone and one with cherry burl wood all comments will help in next builds thanks. steve
