Just curious

No seam would suggest it was cut out of a slab like a normal inlay

So just as a "For Instance." This beautiful James White was put up in the gallery maybe a few days ago. I'm not a huge "tuxedo cue" fan but the silver "veneer" really strikes me as something I would like to know more about. If it's done by CNC then great...mystery solved...and it very well may be. Something just makes me feel like it's not and that's driving me batty.

Use pure soft silver. The seams just blend together. This is my second attempt at using silver. With a little practice I hope to get it seamless.

I continue to be stunned by the ability of some makers to use "silver" as a veneer material as well as for inlays. My assumption (dangerous) is that the silver is annealed to make it dead soft. What I can't wrap my head around is how there are no lines (miters) at the tips of the points. This confuses me because in many, many hours of searching here and elsewhere, I can't figure out how you could have a seamless veneer without it being cast.

Does anyone have a direction that I can start looking in to do some research?

But the OP is talking about points with no seam....not inlays.

It might be easier to take a guess at how it was done if we could see the whole points.
