Default Re: Incrustation(inlay) "line" metal in wood

Ray: "How would you handle this in some of the harder tropical woods like ebony, zircote, or even desert ironwood? In woods that are very difficult to "compress" do you actually need to "carve" a channel and glue the wire in?"

Ray,

You mean like this, for example?

Ebony and silver flute after an original from 1720.

I developed the technique seventeen years ago, and made this ebony flute, which is now played by the Professor of Flute, Amsterdam Conservatory, Netherland.
