Does anyone here have a tutorial on these items, how to's would be wonderful, and any images that are not already on the web. Thanks Janel for the soap box!

Ezz El Sherbiny Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks Tom for your post, Years ago I attempted to make a small Inro. Having not handled an Inro myself then and without any guidance I did it the hard way, through what you might call "micro-carpentry. The bottom compartment alone for example is made of 9 different pieces. It was painstaking but fun and I think I've managed to get the hard part done. One side was inlaid while the other remains blank awaiting new ideas / inspiration, so it's still an unfinished project. I'll post it anyway ... Sincere regards Ezz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
