One of the new sections on the OlliN website is an area where Mark details techniques he uses in creating different pieces. For the moment we are calling this section Shop Notes. Below is a link to the first page in this series all about Chiseling and Inlay Details.

Hi Matthew

Great page, gives a very good discription of the process and will help many to understand what it takes to do this type of work!

Thanks for sharing, Mac

I love inlay-
I think it's the greatest-
Now how about some blade inlay?
Anybody working with niello?
Jeremy

Actually, there is a sword project in the works that will have inlay on the blade.

Great info, and great job on the inlay work!

Thanks for posting this guys. It was a great read....

Very well done feature: I actually saw it before reading about it here as I usually go around the various makers sites periodically to see if there is anything new. Very clear well written explanations of the process and very good photography.

I may have missed it but is there a sword in production that will go with this pommel and when will we see the whole thing. ;)

You guys do some real interesting quality work at surprisingly affordable prices. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Yes, there is a sword in production that will go with the pommel...

:cool:

Wow, I was just wondering about this process after seeing the guard of Mac's new Vince Evans piece! Excellent article, thanks!

Very informative article. I look forward to seeing the finished piece!
