Craig Tucker Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It was probably this one (seeing as how it's the only one I've done!) - done with the method you describe. Danm! That's some fine work. I'm curious, did you lay in the first 'level' and cut through it to lay in the second? or was it pieced individually?

But yes, that is exactly what I did. But, as you will see when you follow the lines, the "first level" becomes the "second level" on the other half, so bits and pieces are very much part of the process.

Yes, I did notice the Celtic knot like quality! I immediately started thinking "How was thìs done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_N Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah that's the one Jacob! I did mine the same way, but I didn't know what I was doing when I thinned it from the inside and it was both flimsy and too heavy. I have another started and it should come out better now that I think I understand the arching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankcello Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It was probably this one (seeing as how it's the only one I've done!) - done with the method you describe. Wow Jacob! Thanks for posting the picture, that is truly inspiring. So what you are saying is that you marked the initial lines with a single blade knife? It seems that it would be easier to at least mark it with the double blade knife, and then come back with a single blade knife to deepen the channel.

Like I've said, I've only done one inlay like that, and if I had to do it again there are a few things I might do differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muntz Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have a violin with the same design dyed into the back of the violin. It’s old and in need of repair. That’s about all I know. Any information would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
