An
inlay test. Copper sheet was formed into our die for Mountain View cabinet
pulls and inlaid into a piece of 1/8" thick stock. This is Steve's first
attempt at this type of inlay. A series of cold chisels was used to create
a raised ring that was then cold-set around the sheet to hold it in place.
We filled an order for
a Spring Sandhills table last week. Following are some process shots from
that order.
Progression - Cattails and cranes, pre-assembled components.
