Hi Jim,

    It was wonderful to meet you at the BMAC show last August and to see
    your beautiful work in 3D rather than photos. 

    All the technical information I have been able to access on making
    mokume is sketchy in regard to combining various golds.  As you
    know, it is rather daunting to take thousands of dollars worth of
    gold and make a billet that may fail - I can also understand the
    reluctance on giving advice on how to make a billet using "thousands
    of dollars worth of gold that might fail". 

    Nevertheless, would you consider posting information on this topic? 
    Or perhaps publish an article that could be downloaded for a fee? 

    I have been successful so far following your method of making mokume
    and have gone as far as producing 24k gold/sterling silver billets. 
    Now I would like to produce some gold combinations but I would love
    to have more information. 

All the best
Donna Hiebert
Halifax, NS
