how I solder inlay

[majordog]

I tried this out last night on a Walnut Wood Duck Whistle.

The solder flew off the first time before I got it turned down all the way.  Re-glued it, and re-soldered the seem.  Second time around, it got it.  My seam wasn't too "seam-less"  LOL  But it looked pretty good for a first attempt.

Thanks for the tutorial

I'm glad you were successful. 
I haven't had any fly off yet but I take super light cuts until the solder is round.

I'm pretty heavy handed with the gouge, so its entrely my fault 

All I had in the shop had a hollow core, so I went out today and bought some solid solder wire.  I'll try it again this weekend.

Excellent tutorial. I often wondered about soldering the seam. I have tried doing wire inlays before but never got the wire to stick in the groove. Your presentation helped imensly. I tried a bunch of inlays today and was quite sucessful. Thank you.
Now will this work on acrylic? Im too chicken to try it.
