Lid experiment part 2 - stone inlay
I have a cupboard at the back of the workshop where I keep box rejects and other stuff. Rummaging through to find something else, I spotted an unfinished box with a cracked lid and got to thinking about repairing the cracks with the stone inlay method in my previous post. With a different type of stone this time, I chased out the cracks, sprinkled in the crushed stone and swept all the fines into the gaps. Then I dropped in CA glue and next day sanded the whole box, applied the finish (another story) - and here is the result. Perhaps a shade glitzy, but I am keen to develop the process further.
Cheers all

I looked for Part 1, but could not find it.
The effect is nice. Luminescent and a good cover for a mistake

I think it's turquoise. Not entirely sure as it was in a packet that I've had for many years. The stone was actually pre drilled for use as jewellery and I crushed it inside a pipe with a piece of reo bar. It was reasonably hard. I am now on the hunt for slightly softer stone with a more subtle colour.
