hey Sam! I was wondering if you could help clarify on the raised inlay comment you had on one of these posts saying you form and shape the metal in steel before applying the gold so the gold is at a uniform hight and none of the steel sticks through. your saying you sculpt the animal in steel first so the gold takes on the shape of the sculpted steel below, and then sticks to the teeth? thank you very much
