WOW! Foam is one thing, but inlays in cork - like this? I've done checkerboards and such and have only dreamed of doing something this fine. The closest I came was cutting out the pattern and filling it in with a cork-dust-epoxy mixture to get it to flow in that tight! In the end it still didn't look as clean as that! Well done! Would love to see a step-by-step tutorial! I know the big boys can do it, if they wanna pay for it, as I've seen it, but for custom builders this is a nice touch that custs might pay more for maybe moreso (dare i say it) than thread-art. Again, well done Leigh!


PS- How do I increase the mag on this pic like we used to do in years gone by? This is one I wanna examine closely and "figure out".


PSS - Do you have a left list for this. LOL Leigh good job!

Very nice work on the inlay. Did you use a pantograph to inlay or did you free hand it?
