Thank you all for your comments I can't tell you how many attempts I've made at making the bangles, they kept going wrong until I hit on the best way of doing them and I got me a vernier caliper to measure measure measure

Great Bangles, Do you make different sizes or is it a case of one size fits all.


That is something I have never tried, making bangles and pyrography. The later will not be trying for quite some time to many other things need doing first

I first saw bangles on another pen site that have been made on the lathe, but none are as good as these, the work that your wife has put on these sure takes them up to a new level .. They really are the Dogs Bangles .. :thumbs:

I make the bangles to suit the wearer. In this case I made a sample based on what my wife said the customer wanted and made it with a flattish top side so there was a good surface to pyro
