Andy, it's good to see you surface again!? You just keep finding and shooting the cool stuff.? Glad the business is going well, how about the other line with the lotions and soaps?? Any more development there?

Hi guys,

Here's a batch of 14mm x 20mm cylinder beads that have yet to be fine-sanded, drilled and polished. They weigh slightly less than 3gm each and are the first batch to be produced by my humble factory in Sabah. I've been training a bunch of craftspeople and they're getting better every day. No more outsourcing for me!

Just for kicks, I cut and polished a bigger version. It weighs 183gm and is 58mm x 78mm. This might be the world's largest amber komboloi. When drilled and strung, this bead may be swung with deadly force :-D

Andy
