Sepultura is a heavy metal band from Brazil. They
started off in the early-mid eighties and over the years their sound has
gradually changed from death metal to thrash metal to nu metal, but these
days they are more of a hardcore band. The logo pictured was designed
circa 1990 during the recording sessions for the album Arise.
Making the inlay took quite awhile because of the smaller ring size. This
is the first inlay I made from a printed text pattern, as generated by
Irregular Grid Painter (IGP) in the Count Colors section. One intersting
thing about this inlay is the difference in ring size between the two ring
types used. The black rings are a full .008" larger in ID, which makes an
AR difference of .2 compared to the stainless steel rings. This causes
slight sagging in the sections with the black rings. I only did this
because I wanted to get this project started when I did, and I hadn't yet
acquired 13/128", and 2.5mm mandrels.
