nowa90 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm doing this inlay for a commision, but not entirely sure how to attack it. Where do I start as in cleaning the peices and fitting it together? I of course rought cut them out first, but what order do I make them fit each other? Here is a pic of it, it'll be about 3"x3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa90 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was thinking I of the red, then the little peices around it of MOP, then II of red, and IV of red, then II of mop, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Pick a logical, stepwise approach and stick with it. Either from an outside edge in, or from the inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Not positive I understand your question, but if I take a guess there is another way to do this. Super Glue the entire piece together and then route it in as one piece. I hope this is what you meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I am not an inlay expert, but you pretty much have a spiral shape inlay. I woud just pick the center most piece and work out from there in a spiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa90 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I think I'll make red peice #1 perfect, then do everypeice that touches it, then continue with very adjacent peice untill its done, flip it over, glue it together, then inlay it. The pearl and jasper are different thickness'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
