very cool. Two questions - how did you do the triangle inlays, and what is the silver trim material??

Very nice. Were the pieces cut by hand or did you use one of the jigs from Custom Tackle?

Thanks guys. The triangle inlays were done with one of the custom tackle jigs & the silver inlays are just done with Metalic Silver Thread. I made relief cuts with a hack saw with the handle rotating on my lathe and wound the thread up to the level of the finished cork.

DAve, great job on the inlay & wrapping the thread with Silver trim. Before I read your description I was wondering if they were stainless or aluminum trim rings. Great job!!
