|
|
If you want to inlay something special on the frog...own diesigns etc.... just how do you actually go about it? not Parisian Eye, but for example and so that we all understand each other - William Retford's Fluer de lyse....just an example!
I wish to try to make something silver and then inlay the artifact into both sides of the frog..... kind of a signature mark if you will....
So how do I mold the silver...and how on earth doI cut into the ebony without destroying too much of the frog.... I have a few ideas, but would love to hear yours.
Any help on the process and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.... |

cut out the pattern you want in metal or abalone. Transfer to the frog.Chisel out. glue and fill spaces with ebony dust and glue. |
