Jerry FiskTodd, copper is harder to inlay than gold. It takes longer and gives more problems because it work hardens so much faster. So, it is a trade off, the gold is more expensive cost wise but you put more time in with copper. It ends up being the same price or close.
My next stretch is copper, silver and gold all inlaid on the same piece. I just gotta find the right piece to do it on.
