David, that was wonderful. Having met you and seen your work first hand, I must congratulate you for providing such a fine tutorial. I have not read all of the postings to your thread, but I get the idea that no one has anything negatively critical to add. And no wonder!
I am going to do a wire inlay tutorial at Dixon's this summer, and I shall be definitely discussing your methods, borrowing heavily from your experience. Thanks much for this great gift.
