Hi Ben - Your latest piece look great, or is it really your latest. You seem to finish 5-6 new pieces in the time it takes me to just think about starting something new.

And I really like your new toggle. It looks like a twin to the one that I have and tried to describe to you . . . except that mine is made of Marsden flower jade. I think the simplest way to make these would be to chuck up a jade rod in a lathe, round it off, then cut off pieces as needed and drill the appropriate holes. Is this how you did it? I think this toggle design will eliminate the complaint my women have had about the old toggle type being hard to thread through the loop in the cord (the knot catches on the loop).

Keep up the great work!
