I was going to reply to Pat's posting but can't see how to add a picture to a reply , hence a new post.

They are nice bangles but you can make them for about a dollar each if you cast your own blanks .Silicone molds are available on ebay dirt cheap but they are only 58 or 60 mm ID . They are obviously meant for petite Asian wrists so you have to make your own .
The pictures are of gumnut bangles which I have been making for some time . The first is of a finished bangle and the second shows a blank just out of a new larger mold which I have just made .I agree mounting them is a pain , I have got it down to three mountings .
If you are coming to the Kiama Woodcraft Expo on 11-12/3 I can show them to you and explain how to make the mold .
