no defence needed mr, that's lovely stuff!

 

The inlay / fill is very nice.. what are you doing, crushing that tourqouise and mixing it with a 2 part filler? ive been experimenting myself but not done anything as nice as that

[TrollSpiel]

whats that youve filled the holes with? an old guy showed me a really nice way of filling holes in burrs, file some old brass down with a fine file, keep the filings and mix them with araldite, fill the holes with the mixture and sand back down after glue has gone hard, nice shiny bits in the wood, looks lovely on stick handles.

 

this place is full of great ideas:biggrin: top tip mate
