Coin Inlay Variation

[hotshot]

Still experimenting. Wanted to try to create some contrast for the gold (brass), and didn't have any "liver of sulphur" to create the patina, so I torched the Kennedy to oxidize it and turn it dark. When I put the seal on it, I think it may turn to a shiny black. Anyway, not sure if I like it yet, but it is always fun to experiment.

For those of you that would like to do stuff like this, perhaps in wood instead of metal :-)

Back in 2011, a couple of guys that hung out in the SSWC forum created an incredible tutorial.  They presented a simple project (with sample patterns) and showed how to do these, and hide the entry hole.  The tutorial is posted on one of their personal sites.  If you want a simple fun project to try this on, give it a try.  Link Below.

By looking at your photo it is fabulous.  I love the contrast.  Hope it stays the way you want it too Randy.

I know the metal cutting blades don't last long,But probable even less with the sideways strain on them doing this type of project.My haty is off to your cut coin work.!
