Hello Orchidland,

    My mentor, James Cook (who did some amazing channel inlay) would
    stick a heavy wooden toothpick into the hole of a stone bead. Then he
    would saw through the center of the bead, right down that hole and
    through the toothpick. Voila. Quick cabs... perfectly matched to
    stone beads if one wanted to create matching pendant or earrings. 

    I'm sure it took some practice, but as I say, his lapidary work
    fitting stones for inlay was incredible. 

    Judy in Kansas, who has been eating lots of asparagus and is ready
    to share with the neighbors!!
