In this video Allen Newberry J.S. will show us how he inlays fine silver into wood. This is a fun technique for embellishing knife handles and black powder rifle stocks.

Great tutorial. I feel confident that I can do this, thankyou!
I have to say, you make that look so very easy. I tried it for the first time a week ago and took me forever to make even a large curve. Thanks for making the video!

It is a pretty simple idea. But, it sure can be tricky sometimes.
Great video, clear and precise. A pleasure to watch!

I bought some German Silver wire from Dixie Gun Works 30 years ago. I still haven't used it. Always thought I'd learn how someday. This video helped.

Uncle Bucks Forge get a scrap piece of maple and some exacto knives and give it a whirl. It is pretty fun.
Nice work on the blade as well as the inlays. Joe is an amazing craftsman to learn from. Thank you for sharing.

James Carlyle Glad you liked it. Silver wire is pretty fun. Plus, it will be handy if you ever decide to do some of Moran’s knives.
Excellent job demonstrating how it's done, it was very easy to follow. The overall knife it great. I've had a soft spot for brute de forge knives for a number of years now, especially when forged in damascus. That walnut is gorgeous too, it looks as great as the incredible Missouri walnut that Don Hanson uses so often on his saw mill line of knives. Anyway, Thanks for sharing another great video.

lsubslimed thanks for the kind words. I have liked the Brut de Forge style Knives ever since I took the ABS Handles and Guards class with Joe Kesslar as the instructor about seven years ago. I definitely enjoyed that week.
Fast and easy, no hocus-pocus. Thanks for the tutorial, very informative

Thank you for this video! I AM GOING to do this in the near future. So simply swelling the wood is enough to secure the wire? I saw another video where they used CA glue to hold it in place. I like to stay away from CA glue because invariably my fingers become part of the project.

Eric Cartrette when done correctly it will stay. You aren’t removing any wood. So, when it swells back to its original position it is pretty tight. Also, if you use ca and you intend to stain the handle it will resist staining where the glue is.
Thank you so much for the video. This is a thing I have wanted to do for a while and just haven't tried yet. What gauge wire were you using and was it full flat or half flat? And lastly, I love the brut De forge style, when left to my own devices, I will usually default to making a "blacksmith" knife in that style.

Bjorn Ronaldson the wire is flat. The sizes that I have seen recommended are .008 X .055 and .013 X .055. I am using the thinner wire.

Beautiful work. I’d like to inlay check marks on the length of wooden sticks, they vary from very thin at the ends to wider at the center. Any ideas how to inlay something like that. Thank you.

I would recommend trying it out on a scrap that is shaped similarly and ideally made from the same wood.
Thanks for the video! Whenever you see a piece like that you try to wrap your head around what the process was, I'll trying to record videos in order to give back for all the things I've learned and will definitely try it this year! :D If I video it would you mind if I uploaded it if I credit and link to you?

Did you think about coating the wire in something like two-part epoxy just so it won't pop out if/when the wood flexes with age and dries? I'd be worried the wire would pop out.

It stays in well in walnut and curly maple. There are muskets still holding onto their wire. But, if you do something like Blackwood you might need a glue. I just stick with the maple and walnut.
I'm interested in the process. Where do you get the tools and the wire to practice and learn. There does not seem to be many outlets.

I know its a year late, but on some materials its necessary, namely bone, horn and stabilized/resin impregnated woods, usually natural woods that are able to expand and contract dont really need it but its not an awful idea if in areas where the humidity and temperature can swing wildly, since if the wood changes a little and a corner of the wire can catch and poke out it can be a chain reaction where more peels out of the work. Hope this helps, my work doesnt hold a candle to this video but maybe it helped shine some light on it
