Quote:That's what this is- the chisel cutting under the edge creates a space into which the inlay wire moves when hammered. It's the basis of all inlay that the base is wider than the top :wink:
Silly me. I missed that aspect.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
