Custom Handmade Jewelry |
There has been a lot of talk about inlaying musical instruments on this web site. However, my inlay work is not limited to musical instruments. If it is made of wood, or can be made of wood, most likely I can inlay something cool on it. Many things can be inlaid like gun stocks, tables, chairs, key chains, pictures, picture frames, music boxes, jewelry boxes, etc.
| This is the first in a series of pieces I plan to make. It is made of Silver, White/Gold/Black Mother of Pearl, and Paua and African Black Wood. The first piece was made for my wife and everyone has been going GA GA over it. My wife has never gotten so many compliments on a piece of jewelry before. Needless to say, she trilled. |
