The rabbit hole goes ever deeper. I’ll be using mother of pearl(abalone) for my next inlay project, this will be my first time using it but @bpedit has shared a ton of prior art and advice over the years. (For example: Snowy Owl inlay scene )
So next project is a little water tank with a tiny high-ish pressure pump for clearing swarf.
I’ve never seen abalone before but if it looks as good in person as it does in the photos…it’ll make for some exceptional dragonfly wings 
Edit: and luckily I’ve got plenty of thick brass to work with!
