Arrow Plate Inlay Tips & Tricks
« on: February 18, 2013, 08:14:17 am »
I've had a few questions about inlay technique, so I've just done an 'Inlay Tips and Tricks' post on my blog with loads of pics and a short video clip.
It's worth a look if you've not done inlay before.
Here's the link.

Any feedback or questions appreciated.

Nice 'how-to' Del! I use horn for arrow pass sometimes, but I cheat. I use round horn dowel and just drill a hole with a forstner bit. Glue it in with 5 min epoxy, and then sand flat. Easy peasy.
