Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 85 - Wood inlays Media

Thanks to some great comments from previous videos I was finally able to make a good set of wood inlays! The stabilized redwood burl that I was using was so brittle due to the burl, that they would crack and break very very easily, so machining them and removing them from the fixture was a real pain. Others suggested that heating up the fixture will melt the glue bond and let them come off, and it worked! Then I gave them a quick sand with 800 grit, glued them into the knife, then oiled them with mineral oil and they look amazing.
