Unfortunately, none of us can truly reach the inlay abilities of the old masters because we know what a lion looks like.

Hank,
I have never gone into how strips of bone were aooarently "bent" into curves like wire can be.
Maybe soaking in vinegar.....
At an opportune time, I would appreciate a brief explanation of such work!
On my own work, l have used inlays of orgnic and geometric form, but kept to wire for tightly curled inlays.

Thank you my friend,
Richard.

Greetings Richard,
Can you start a PM with me. I don't know how that all works. I think that's doable but not sure. I tried an old email from class but not sure if it's still good. Sincerely, Hank

Will do, Hank and thank you for the offer!
I have not checked emails, as I am up to my neck in spring work and not as fast as I was!

Will be in touch soon though and thank you again,
Richard.
