Thank you so very much, Uwe, for the very first ever BCN Bead! This is another in the famous series of Uwe grinds from Chinese material, approx. 25mm x 50mm. At first, I think he reground finished Chinese chevron beads from the 2007 batch. I believe this bead is ground from Chinese rosetta cane material from the same year, which came from Driftstone Pueblo. Thank you to Basket Bob for being in the right place at the right time! The outer red layer was very thick on this cane, giving the resulting raised BCN lettering a nice juicy translucence! I can't even guess how much time this took to make, Uwe! Heartfelt thanks for the first commemorative BCN bead, in an honored spot in the archive!
