The inlay is finished, and I love it:
It looks nice and authentically "pirate". I had considered a little more detail around the eye patch, but really I just love it how it is so decided to restain around it (lesson learned: Inlay before finishing work on the wood) and call it done.
Tomorrow I will oil the wood and should have it 100% finished and back together for shooting again on Sunday. All told, about 10 days worth of free time and $450 dedicated to it (not counting shooting supplies and tools, or the stones since I've had them for years).
Not bad at all for such a neat piece. Add in the stone values and it jumps to probably around $700. I feel like I could easily ask over $1000 for this were I to want to sell it.
