In my ongoing attempt to have the longest thread on the forum . . . I know, I know; Ned's shop will always win out.
I finally decided on a pull style. I prefer to work some ebony parts once they are built in to the piece. This (for me) avoids a bolted-on look that we fat-fingered folk have a knack for.
A problem can be the transfer of dark wood dust onto the unfinished lighter wood, in this case ash, that is a pain to remove. So just to help someone from having to figure this out through the DAMHIKT moment I had awhile back. I do this:
The inlay in this case is a fat 1/32" proud of the pull face. After sanding and shaping, I use a blow gun to remove the dust and then I remove the tape. This let's me shape and burnish the ebony without boo-boo's.
