    Remarkable ! Great work from both of you gentlemen.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I like the black better, but I don't like the way it looks like the finish is rolled up around the edges of the inlays. The yellowheart is cleaner, but the inlays should be more flush with the scale. This may be merely a function of the way the camera distorts the perspective. THey both are beautiful, I would pay to have either in their current state. Good job guys.

    Now thats funny I was thinking that the Black brought out the brass inlays better, in fact the wife liked yours better for that reason.....
    Yours reminds me of the Vesuvius version .....

    Lovely work gentlemen. Like Yin & Yang.

    A question. Do you use a slow setting CA to position the logos or do you just work fast ???

    I use gap filling CA to bond them, regular fast setting. You do dry fitting until it's just right, clean the wood with acetone, then apply a drop of CA and drop the brass in place and hold it down with a stick or pin until the CA sets. The CA will weep out into the gaps and make a nice bond if done right, almost like soldering.

    I did almost exactly what Dan did and it worked just fine, but one thing I would do different on the next one is, I would put one coat of finish down first, then put the inlays on......
