Title: Best Book to Learn Wire Inlay?
Post by: Ats5331 on September 12, 2021, 05:36:32 AM

Hey all,

What’s the best resource, in your opinion, to learn wirework/wire inlay?

This is something that I would like to start attacking and practicing!

Best,
Allen

Also a Google of Joe Keeslar will provide a few more good ideas.

Hi Allen,
Dave Price has a good book about wire inlay.  You can get it from  his website:

Thanks all!

Mike—I’m in the build from a blank class next month! I wish I could take the class next year on wirework, but will probably be unable too.

I think my budget/wife’s patience will only allow me one field trip to Friendship for a while.

Maybe you could give me a few notes during class?

Cheers,
Allen
