Hi everyone, greetings from Argentina.
I learned to fretwork at 8 y.o. with my grandpa, who was a Basque cabinetmaker and luthier.
Several year ago I took the chance of work in metal besides wood.
I wish to introduce my latest works:
Eagle head pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver. I can't remember who's the pattern author.
Clover pendant, fretwork from an 1 mm thick nickel silver filled with malachite powder.
This is a knife handle, made of a local wood called lapacho and nickel silver.
Another knife handle, made of carob tree and nickel silver.
This is a "bombilla" (metal straw for a local hot drink called "mate") made of nickel silver decorated with a metal rosebud.
A little pendant. Native style bird, fretwork in nickel silver, mounted on a staghorn slice.
I hope you like my work.
