Bill, you might try a bit less inletting black. I use an old toothbrush, barely touch it to the stuff in the little vial, and brush off most on a piece of paper toweling. You just need a bare trace on the corners of the item being inletted. Easy to see against the white maple wood. That stuff is almost "evil" the way it gets all over everything.
Been admiring your work, and your improving use of your tools (and brain!). You are really doing some nice work, and that Tennessee rifle is going to be super nice!
