Ivory waves

[altaciii]

African blackwood and Ivory laminate. I wish I could say real ivory but not to be. The pockets in this inlay were created by a local pool cue maker Will Lee on his Cue Master inlay machine. All I did was glue the laminate into the pockets and lightly turned. I decided to go with a two tone kit purchased in a pinch from woodcraft. I'm really not to satisfied with the pics but am still quite satisfied with the end product. Polished to 12k mm then finished with ca and mm again. All comments welcome good and bad. I am in sales and have learned to have thick skin. Thanks in advance.

Who says you need a laser cutter to make beautiful inlays . Great job Alex . How bad was it cutting the inlays to fit the pockets ?

Very nice Alex. What do you mean when you say "ivory laminate"?

I had a similiar idea some weeks ago. Really beautiful.

That's awesome Alex!! Being completely inlay or segmenting illiterate the method you used would be my only option and even then I'd probably screw it up....

Good one my friend!

It's still a real nice looking pen Alex.
