- Allen Newberry J.S. does a silver wire inlay of a six pointed star into a the walnut handle of a hook knife (for making spoons) that he made in a previous video. You will see silver wire inlaying tools and he will also discuss the benefits of the various sizes of silver wire for inlaying in wood.
Here is a link to the video where I made the Hook Knife in this video: • How to Make a Spoon Ca...
The wire sizes that I am currently using are:
.013 by .055 This wire works well in a dead soft hardness and works better on curved surfaces than the half hard wires. But, it is more prone to getting little kinks and bends if you aren't careful than the half hard hard wires.
.008 by .055 This size wire in a half hard hardness is very nice for making smoother curves and avoiding little kinks and bends in the wire. But, it is harder to inlay on curved surfaces due to it resisting bending around curves.
.005 by .060 Very thin and tricky to inlay without having it fold over. But, it is a nice contrast in size to the other thicker wires.
Here is a tutorial on silver wire inlay by Joe Keeslar M.S. blademag.com/knifemaking/silv...

Thank you for your clear, practical method of inlaying. Also, a big thanks for pointing out problems that can occur. I only wish other presenters do this. Cheers!!
Excellent video!
Just trying this now. This is all very helpful
Awesome! Have fun!
Nicely done!
Thanks Steve!
Thank you sir as a brand ne subscriber to your channel I’m looking forward to a brand new adventure
Great video, I finally understand this technique.
Amazing that you just happened to upload this hours before I searched for this. I want to start practicing this on rifle stocks and pistol grips and this is a very approachable way to start. Thanks!
Glad the timing worked out well for you. Thanks for watching!
how did it work out for you @dakota Potts ? hope to do this to my tool handles. not sure about the learning curve yet tho lol
Nice video good information
Thank you.
Nice!
Thanks
This is excellent stuff! I subscribe!
Thanks for subscribing!
Muy buena información
Thanks for watching!
Si ma profession bienvenue en maroc
what size is the thick and thin wire?
Thank you so much to share your great work. I'm just beginning the wood inlay. Could you tell me what kind of oil you use on the last step? Thank you again.
I have been using tru oil lately. I have also used formby’s.
Good afternoon! Very nice technique....Where do you buy your Silver ribbon wire?
Hagstoz.com
Hi nice video. What type of wood are you using?
Black walnut
Excellent! I don't think you mentioned it in the video, but it sort of looked like you were cutting the silver wire into small trapezoidal shapes with the long end being on top (the presentation side). Is this the case or am I just seeing things? It would make sense that it would go in the slot easier with the ends tapered a bit, but I'm just wondering if that's actually what you did here? I also just did a quick search on the Burmese Star Tortoise out of curiosity and they are really neat. I've love the way their shells also have little pyramid-shaped humps giving the Starr's a 3D look, kinda reminds me of little Bowsers lol. Thanks for sharing :) 🐢🐢🐢
Good eye. I cut them at an angle with the long part on top. This helps with overlapping pieces so that they blend together.
Yes, the Burmese star tortoises are very cool looking. The pyramiding of the shells does kind of look cool on these. Although, generally you try to minimize it.
Where do you get the wire?
Rio Grande and T.B. Hagstoz and Son, Inc.
Is there any reason to use silver other than the prestige? Why shouldn't I just cut up an aluminium soda can and use that?
You could use other metals. You could make your own if you are crafty out of some softer metals. Nickel silver and brass inlay wire is available from www.muzzleloaderbuilderssupply.com
Where does the silver wire come from
Hagstoz.com
G'day ! I am from Australia and am keen to start on some silver inlay in wood. I have watched all the youtube videos and they are very helpful in terms of technique . BUT i have been trying to buy some of the silver wire to start and for the life of me I cannot find a supplier having spent hours on the internet searching . I'm hoping someone can help me by advising on the specifications of the silver wire and contacts for a supplier . Thanks -Sydney

Try firemountain.com or rio grand jewelry supply.
A&E metals in Australia supply wire and cloisonne wire (which is the wire used here) in any quantity from small hobby amounts to as much as you want. Best, Rob
Why a flat type wire versus a round type wire?
I don’t think round wire would be held in well with this technique.
Think about contact surface area and friction. Round wire would have two small points of contact and not much friction to help hold it in. Flat wire slides in and stays in better
