I first saw the turquoise inlay in the Rockler store in Arlington TX. I just had to do something with turquoise in it. I have made several boxes. The inlay is easier than you may think. I took larger stones and crushed them to make gravel/sand. I glued them in the pre-carved cracks and groves with gel supper glue. When the glue was dry I sanded 120,220,440 and then buffed with white buffing compound. Great Fun!
"Have been a return customer for a number of years, and a recent experience has really cemented that bond for me. After using my Rockler lighted magnifying lens for a few months, one of the wires from the battery pack came loose. When I contacted Customer Service to inquire about sending the unit back, they instead sent me a brand new one - no questions asked, no return expected, no charge whatsoever. This simple step - coupled with top quality, innovative products - ensured my repeat business more than any other advertising technique or gimmick could ever do.
Keep up the good work, Rockler!" -
