Hello all,
I’ve probably made over 100 of these freeform platters, using local cutoffs with voids, and other inprefections. I use as much local material as I can, including Shells, abalone, big sur jadeite, malachite chrysocolla, and brass shavings. More pics are at my website . It would be great to hear from others that are also inlaying in voids.

Very nice!!! I’ve been toying with giving this a try. What are you setting the stones with?

How do you sand the inlay material? Same as the wood?

John- I use softer materials (malachite, chrysocolla, shell etc.), and sand carefully. I end up wearing out sandpaper rather quickly. Using the edge of an RO sander works rather well.
