Please note: Woodworking is an inherently dangerous activity. The non-woodworking techniques described here aren't all that safe, either. Sharp tools, powerful motors, big lumps of wood, chemicals, fumes, etc. can cause you serious bodily injury or even death. These pages are NOT meant as a substitute for instruction by a qualified teacher, just as an illustration of how I do certain things. I take no responsibility for any mishaps you may experience during a fit of inspiration. You've been warned.

"Night Ship" (2009). This is another way to use the rivet technique. Here, I've used copper, nickel and brass wire on ebonized walnut. The technique is the similar to the one used for rivets, except that the placement of the wire is random. I didn't ebonize the walnut until after I installed the wires and filed and sanded everything back.
