re: Inlay using coffee grounds...

MsDebbie – I just added the CA glue to the dry grounds. I was using thin set. After sanding it smooth, I realized I probably should have covered it with waxpaper and added some weight to it (it had a couple of pits). But just added more coffee grounds and a little more glue, sand smooth and done. Always fun to experiment!

Ianwater – Those are beautiful stands! I love the contrast!

I really like the unexpected. This is a little dog tag I made for my nephew using stone dust and CA glue on Ebony.
and this was bronze powder and CA glue in Cocobolo
