Kids like rocks
This all started early last year when my then 4 year old son decided he wanted to "look for rocks." I found out that the PNW was an amazing place for "Rock Hounding" and we were surrounded with an abundance of places to look for great raw material including agate, petrified wood, opal, quartz, etc. Soon I had boxes of raw material in my garage and I was trying to figure out what we can do with all of it. The first purchase was a craigslist rock tumbler. This was the start to the addiction. After seeing how well these materials took a polish, I decided we could take it to the next level and I was using a tile saw to cut shapes.
One day I was looking at my instagram feed and was seeing these amazing titanium, resin, G10, and steel EDC lanyard beads on killer custom knives and I knew I could do something similar out of this material. I created the first one and I've been carrying it for a few months now. So now I'm trying to fine tune the process and continue to make more. I will be adding them to the store as soon as I can get them out of the tumblers.
