A couple of weeks ago I attended a party and made a few new friends in the Santa Cruz community. I found myself nibbling on a smoked salmon appetizer, awkwardly trying to dislodge the salmon from between my teeth and talking to a dentist. Lost wax casting is a shared art between dentists and jewelers and we soon found common ground in our conversation. After my 2nd or perhaps 3rd glass of wine, I brazenly asked him if he might have used dental tools that he no longer needed?
Old School Dental Tools
He called last week to tell me that he had put together a package of worn (and sterilized) dental tools to give to me. Tonight, I picked up a treasure of old school dental tools that will carry me through the final 20 years of my jewelry career.
Tonight I toast to regular dental check up’s, to my new friends, old school tools and another 20 years of creative wax carving.
