bit of an update on the progress of this one
so I decided to redo the Rune inlay cut outs etc as I didn't like the lettering as it was so I started again
also added some Paua dots, I used a similar process to do these but with a different Ø3mm milling type bit to the recesses
Rune inlays were glued with CA & sanded back flush with Paua shell inlays dots added & glued ready for sanding again

also decided to use a John Holler "Celebrated" 6/8" square point wedge I was waiting on for this project
below is the pinning recess for the wedge pin under the inlay dot with a washer in place

pinning in the wedge recess before glueing the Paua inlay dots to wedge end (looks rather ordinary, but no one ever see it again hopefully)

the wedge end inlays are now drying ready for final sanding & clean up of scales
hope you can follow by rantings LOL
