I wanted to try a wire inlay...accomplished with only 2 holes in my finger :censored:
Secondly, I wanted to try a colored inlay but what to use what to use???????? I started reading and saw all the fancy stuff online, crushed stone turtle butt etc etc then saw coffee grounds, but heck they had to be dry. I was about to give up when i walked past my cabinet that holds about 200 pounds of powder for powder coating.
Ummmm......
So a mix of superglue and Shimmering Candy red powder were concoted and there she be. It does shimmer in the light LMAO!! Call isnt finished but I cant work on it again till I come back off this weekends assignment

That looks great!

I made the mistake of showing the hubby your calls, and now he's walking around muttering "maple burl" and "burned wood" and "will the reed in a wooden call freeze?"

See what kind of trouble you're causing?! :D

Looks really nice Ken! The red complements the color of the wood very well. Sure adds a custom touch of color!
