Silver Smith

         He did two types of silver work, one shown above, silver inlan in gun stocks, the other work with silver to make jewelry.  He laid out his pattern with pencil on the wood and used a small electric hand drill to carve an in-laid area perhaps an eighth of an inch thick in which the silver amalgam was laid.  The key to sucess in this project was to undercut the edge of the inlay. This undercut is what holds the silve in place because no glue or adhesive of any kind was used, just the mechanics of materials shaped in such a way that the one was held in by the other.
