    Default All squared up

    Here's a picture of one that I finished up today. It was a long road to get to this point because I was using some new processes to make my inlays "just so." All the color is from mother of pearl pieces inlayed into the sterling silver barrels. Same with the clip - little squares inlayed in that.

    Hope you like it!

    Cheers,
    Rich

    Can't even begin to imagine what it took to make that. Very nice look!

    Marvellous range of colours in your MoP inlays. Are they glued in or something like a friction fit ?

    They are a slip fit in the holes but they are glued in for security.

    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    Don't make me go nuclear. I have verbiage and I know how to employ it.

    At least you didn't say "nucular"
