Tree of Gondor Inlay
This started with a pre-existing blackened steel shirt that a customer
owned (I didn't make the shirt). It used to be a plain,
straight-cut design with no frills. The Blackened Steel coif
was commissioned first to go with the shirt, and shortly after
finishing that project, I was asked to add an inlay and trim to the
original shirt. It worked out well: the customer liked the
Tree of Gondor inlay pattern, which really needs a black background, making
this shirt the perfect setting. So after replacing a couple
hundred rings and adding a few more, here's the revamped
version of the original, now with a stainless steel inlay and dagged
bronze trim on the hems.
Rings:
Original shirt is 16 ga 3/8" Blackened Steel
Additions are same size, Stainless Steel and Bronze All in the classic European 4:1 weave. |
