    I have been working with mokume for a few years now, but decided that
    I wanted to try making wedding bands that are mirror-images of each
    other for my upcoming wedding. I see George Sawyer sells them and it
    appears that he patterns the billets and then slices them from the
    side to get the patterns the same? Has anyone had any luck doing
    this? Once I get a piece patterned and flat it is too thin to be wide
    enough for a ring shank. If anyone has had luck with this, how many
    layers did you use and how thick did you leave it before patterning?
    Also, does anyone know of any mokume workshops in Tucson this
    February? 

Thanks!
Megan
