Bubinga Pierced Rim

Bubinga Pierced Rim (5-1/8" x 1-7/8").
This was my first meager attempt at piercing. Really makes me appreciate the experts at this stuff!

Beautiful! But it looks remarkably fragile, I can't imagine how you were able to do it without breaking the delicate lacework you created. Is that lace on top as thin as it appear, paper thin? Very lovely.

Very well done, it appears larger than 5 inches across. What tool did you use to do the piercings?

Thanks for the comments, folks! Big_Mike, the top rim is maybe 1mm thick. I actually lost one of the 'spokes' while sanding. Jerry, this was done with a Dremel flex shaft and engraving bit. Don't have a proper high-speed drill.
