Walnut Votive with Malachite Inlay

John, this is a gorgeous turning. The inlay adds quite a bit of visual interest to it. And what is not to like about walnut. It is such as beautiful wood.

Thanks for sharing this. It is a beautiful piece.

Great color combo! Very nice.

Looks great John

Great turning. Love the wood and inlace combo. Very nice touch.

Keep it up.

Beautiful work. I like the inlay.

Beautiful!

Thanks for the comments! And to Scrappy: I actually use no inlace stone. It is too uniform for what I prefer to create. I make up my own aggregate from larger chunks of stone, and select the larger pieces one at a time to create the look I want. I use cyanoacrylate adhesives as the binder; it is less smelly that inlace, doesn’t require mixing, and is much faster.

Nice work. Great piece of turning.

Nice turning, beautiful inlay and nice design of the walnut turning itself. The inlay and candle only add icing to the cake.

Great looking, I have not done the stone inlays yet. Is the red insert your creation or purshased? This project has a lot of things going on with it. If I was closer I would seek your teaching O wise one…...

Thanks for the info. I can see where your stone is a veriety of sizes and gives it a more natural look then the inlace I have seen.

This is really interesting. I would like to know where you find stone inlay materials like this. Nicely done!
