Through a round about way, I have ended up trading an engraved inlay (3/4" x 1 1/2") for $1000 worth of much needed auto repair (new clutch etc.). I intend to do the oval in Argentium with a 24K pheasant in the center. I have the metal and am a jeweler. Is there a reason to not solder the gold pheasant into the Argentium prior to doing the inlay?
The area is relieved but the burrs are not yet raised. The piece is an over/under 20ga that was started and not finished before the man passed away. His widow wants to trade the shotgun to our mutual mechanic, for her auto work, and he wants me to finish the inlay, for my work. We haven't discussed more engraving, but if this works out, I am sure there will be cash jobs. This also will be my first inlay. I can do the engraving portion easily.
