Scale Inlay's
have had a couple of itches to scratch on Ideas for some of my folders. I have wanted to do some unusual inlays with an epoxy fill and also some intricate puzzle pieces.
first folder I carved the Oregon State University Beaver logo onto some Orange G10 and then, back filled with some tinted epoxy. didn't turn out too bad but I will need to find something else the tint the epoxy with other than the aniline die I had on hand. the black seemed to want to bleed a little till i sealed it with thin cynalacrilate glue. it turned out as a good first attempt but needs some work.
next is and idea I have wanted to try with a key hole inlay and a large pivot pin in the center. took a lot of hand fitting even after cutting out the pieces on my cnc. it too has a lot of potential in the future.
booth folders are 6" long
410 SS liners
O1 back spring
