Thanks, Edwyrd.

I'm still "tweaking" the preform forging so I can get NO "flashing" lol........hopefully. AND.....if I was to make the "die plate" again.....I'd narrow the bottom of the petal/scale of the master. May still take one of each of the finished scales and use them as masters for NEW and IMPROVED die plate.
