nice box kent

funny how after years of major work
we wind up making small simple things
to give us pleasure

Very nice. Do you use Inlace for the turquoise?

-- Carpe Diem

Another very nice / COOL box…

You have probably answered this before… but How do you get the turquoise into those little cracks, etc.?
( grind it up, mix with clear epoxy?)

Sure is nice!

Thank you.

A very nice box, Kent

The figure on the Alder lid is almost like a landscape, magical.

Beautiful Kent. The Alder goes really well with the Walnut.

peterrum: It is not Inlace, it is crushed turquois from Craft supplies. I buy it by the once

It comes in different consistencies.he also sell Inlace, but I have not used it.

Joe, I use a small paint brush to force it into the voids. Then I start soaking withn either thin or medium Ca glue until it is level (or above) Sand flat and repeat if needed.

On a larger void I sometimes use epoxy, which can also be mixed with the stone first, then pressed in with a putty knife.

Thanks to everyone else.
