    Mark, the work is outstanding. That will be a beautiful clock. Curious; what tools/method did you use to create the grooves for the stringing? I’ve been using the LV router plane/edge guide with their inlay cutters for the groove walls and the 1/16” cutter to finish, but interested in what other tools folks may be using.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Phil. Many years ago I took a line & berry inlay class with Steve Latta in Lancaster. We made our own tools for inlay. They were pretty simple but worked well. We filed the edge of a 1/4 inch by 1 inch strip of card scraper into saw teeth & then drilled holes in the metal to mount the metal to wood. Essentially scratch stock. In the past I sawed and sliced my own holly to inlay, but this time I bought it on the internet from a stringinlay supplier. His stringing is very nice and fast service. The Lee Valley tools look nice.

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
