Janel Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Welcome to The Carving Path, Phil! Thank you for posting the above images. The inlay and engraving looks quite complex. Would you describe its qualities and materials for us? Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kelso Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 WooHooo! Phil I am a huge fan. I have wanted to introduce you here for months and was going to contact you about it, but you beat me to it. Thanks very much for sharing. Your work (and your son Simon's) is a joy and of historical importance. Much appreciated. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Coggan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks Janel & Jim. The gold is 24k yellow, 18k green, 22k red and silver. The background scroll is flush, the raised/carved gold is about 0.8mm thick. All together about 3 to 4 onces. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Chan Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 That is an exquisite piece of work. May I ask how you did the inlay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Coggan Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 That is an exquisite piece of work. May I ask how you did the inlay? Sorry for the slow reply When inlaying a leaf for example, the leaf shape is cut out of the steel. The edges are then undercut, the base is crosshatched in a certain way to cause tiny "teeth". The leaf is cut out of gold etc, and beaten in, the undercut holds the outer edge and the centre of the leaf is held by the "teeth." Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
