Re: AMAZING mother of pearl inlays
The pictures of WIP were fascinating, coping saws, double edged razor blades for tools and the "workers parking lot" is a shed full of bicycles.

Re: AMAZING mother of pearl inlays
This is one of the pieces I brought back with me.
I have a table about 4 ft dia. covered with MOP cant get a picture of it right now, and some other things.

Re: AMAZING mother of pearl inlays
It's fascinating work. I am always amazed at what a human being can create even without a shop full of tools and a subscription to FWW magazine

My wife and I visited a furniture factory outside Chaing Mai in northern Thailand several years ago and watched Thai workers inlaying abalone MOP into Rosewood furniture pieces. All they used were simple fret saws, chisels and small soft mallets. The workmanship was equally astounding. I wanted to ship a piece of furniture back to the state, but we just couldn't afford it at the time.
