Excellent inlaying of differing textures/ grains John! I’d be interested in hearing how the cross grain does over time. They look locked in place but….outstanding effort!
thanks, this piece was concieved as a bit of an experiement. Part of the experiment was combining the clay and inlay, but the other part was what you noticed about the grain orientation. I have done some other inlays that mix the grain orientation a little bit and they have held up (so far anyway). But I wanted to see what would happen if it was more extreme, so I decided the only way to find out is to try it. So I intend to let it sit around the house for the next year and see what happens. I used epoxy for gluing in the inlay as I wanted a strong joint. So I am keeping my fingers crossed
