That is just plain beautiful, looks like tony bose did it!

The inlay looks flawless, just out of curiosity how long did it take you to do the inlay? did you make the shield or buy it?

4Ever - I'll second the "looks like tony" comment. I've made the walls in my shop blush (from the swearing) when cutting shield in!.... great job!

What kind of steel for liners and bolsters? That looks like my next challenge. I will probably add the challenge of MOP too.
Thx

Hi Mike, the liners are .050 410 Stainless and the bolsters are .125 416 Stainless. 400 series Stainless is a dream to work with, get some and try it ::tu::
