Now you're just showing off! Incredible work. Have you done any wood inlays?

I got one of those micro router bits i think they are 5mm in diameter so i will try something basic myself witha template. My eyes wouldn't allow that sort of work by hand in a traditional way cheating would be needed.

its just practice, like anything else, I use a jewellers saw to cut the shell, then I use a dremel with the StewMac base and a 1/32 carbide bit, very fine, very easy to break.
but really just practice.. its all done freehand, dont use templates, they actually make it harder.

I have given up on the really elaborate stuff like this.. this is just too much for my old eyes.

Beautiful inlays. I'm always impressed by fine work like that. That's real eye candy. Thanks for the pics.

Metallic fuchsia it is, then. Thumbs-up!

Tried rubbing the paint into the grain, but the wood isn't soft enough to take it well. Opted to blot the paint on with a rag instead in order to get a feeling of depth. I have some semi-opaque metallic glazes I'm going to use over it. Lol, I figure it'll come out pretty cool or I'll end up stripping it!

Okay... got the glazes applied.

First coat: semi-opaque metallic gunmetal gray...



Second coat: semi-opaque metallic sapphire...



Next comes cleaning up the binding, then re-mask and paint the back & sides black!

That metallic blue is starting to look pretty good, there.
