Are the stars inlaid ? That must have taken you some time . Is it abalone or what material you use ? I need to learn about inlay now after seeing the brilliant job you have done here.
Are there any special secrets about inlaying or is it down to using a dremel and lots of patience

Sorry bout all the questions but i am a beginner

Lots and lots of patience. Route, check, route, check, detail with sharp, thin chisel, check again. Make sure you number your inlay to the proper spot. In this case not all stars were identical.
