Nicely done. Buddy and I here at work have been tinkering with this stuff. How are you cutting those things out? Getting nice circles outta such small pieces?

Thank you both for the comments.

All the bits are turned and drilled on the lathe mainly using a faceplate with a scrap of wood attached then the jewelry wood fitted to that mainly using double sided tape and very light cuts. The earings are 3/4” across
