Bear If you are interested in jewlery like that, I read that you had some experiance with wood working and what not. I wear double 0 gague plugs now that are hard-wood, reason being that i need a light weight earing that will not weigh my holes down and streach them more. If you are interested in having a look at some stuff like that check out this sight for a couple ideas http://www.organicjewelry.com/hardwood.html there is also some celtic type stuff on this page http://www.organicjewelry.com/twilight.html if not thought I would post it for others maybe
