I understand the principle of scribing the outline of the “inlay” onto the work piece and I even understand the use of chalk to accentuate the line in the dark background. What does everyone use to accentuate the line on maple? I have used pencil graphite and it seems to work satisfactorily but is anyone using something better? Thanks for your time, Jeremy |

It turns clear when CA hits it, and is relatively clean in the maple. Of course it all depends upon the wood. I scribe with a #11 exacto blade. Craig Lavin |

Craig, do you use a stick of chalk or the powdered kind that's made for chalk lines? |

Dust gets much more rubbed into every pore, stick cathes mainly in the scribed lines. Much better control. I've done both. Now just stick. |

Good thing I asked. I have a bottle of the powdered stuff in the shop. I can just see me dumping it on a headstock and winding up with a new "blue sparkle" finish or something. Thanks for the info Craig! |
