I've done a wood top, metal top is coming along nicely.... then I ordered a lot of pearl tiles yesterday on a whim. Can't help but think a pearl top will complete the trio nicely. That's normally the point I am done with a design and move onto something else.

For now I've brushed on sealer coats to these, the metal top is in the middle
That will get levelled off, then it will get it coats of gloss. I may spray the body a tobacco brown to even out the colour difference.... part of me is tempted to burst it too, we will see.

I would probably use superglue as I go, followed by an epoxy/mica filler once they were all in place

I've still been playing with ideas for the engraving, but this may be the forerunner for me

First step is to paint he guard black and laser engrave through that
makes me wonder about doing an anodised black engraved version - but not today.
Next it goes into some ferric chloride to etch the exposed metal, then the paint is removed
Leaving us with this
i did do a back plate as a test, but still need to make a few other parts that may also be engraved

but personally i find those a bit overly decorative for my tastes
