Full Custom Set - Henckels-n-Brush in Olivewood

**gssixgun** · 10-24-2011, 02:09 PM

Another collaboration with WillN on this set, Will turned the handle, while I restored the razor, a 5/8 Henckels 50½, then I finished the scales and the brush to match.. The knot is a 24 mm low loft Silvertip..
I added the inlay transfer, and here is the finished set...

Very nice,How do you attach/Adhiese? the transfer to the scale?

Love Olivewood. Did 3 sets of scales in it. You have inspired me to turn a brush to match!

I use two different techniques depending on the finish/material that I am transfering to...
In most cases this one included I use Epoxy, if by chance the finish is CA (super glue) then I use that...

Thank you.Do you somewhat feather the edges of the the transfer?,or are they usually thin enough to where it do's not matter.

The cleanest way to do them is to create a "Frame" out of packing tape then the glue stays where you want, after the inlay is carefully placed another piece of tape over the top applies the pressure and allows you to flatten out the epoxy and the inlay creating a near perfect transfer... If you can get away with a softer wood and a few taps of a chasing hammer, you can sometimes get a near perfect look with a slight imprint... Unfortunately we have to come up with fun ways of putting the inlay "On" instead of "In" the scales.. I guess if one were doing resin pours they could try an actual inlay, or if you have a laser..

Edit: Sorry to answer the exact question, the inlays are very thin, then the epoxy and the inlay are very very very carefully sanded, and cleaned up of any excess, which creates a "feathering" from the process
