Jean H Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I am very pleased to find this community...it can be a solitary job sitting at your work bench all day. I am excited to share and learn. At the moment I am busy with an inro made of purpleheart wood for a customer in the US. Purple heartwood smells of feet and makes my hands itch ever so slightly but it is soooo beautiful. Cuts nicely and polishes up glossy. The inro will have inlay mother of pearl lightening bolts on the front and an ojime bead in the form of a desert rose. I will post a picture of the bead and a couple of other things. I was trainind many years ago as a jeweller but always used wood in my pieces...now I think of myself as a woodcarver first.
