I'm showing this finished inlay primarily because I posted an unfinished shot of it last week that wasn't very good.
The materials are comp stone, corian, white and gold MOP, paua ab, koa, and some sort of plastic sample I got from Masecraft. Cutting was done with a KnewConcepts saw, #4/0 Laser Gold blades, and routing accomplished with carbide downcut spiral bits in a Dremel and Stewmac base. Total time, including design time was about 12 hours. This inlay was unique in that I sort of made it up as I went along, using only a preliminary sketch as a guide. There were just too many little parts for me to make a pattern for them. I know that's the right way of doing things but sometimes I have no patience to do things the right way. The finished result is the only important thing.
The subject is an actual beach near me that no longer exists due to Madame Pele's ongoing creativity. I explain it in another post in the "Talk" section.)
