Wooden heart pendant with inlaid silver

This is a wooden heart pendant i made for my girlfriend. I have to apologize the horrible quality of the images, and maybe the lack of photos at some times, i only got my good camera when the project was finished. It is also my first instructable, so i am only just learning this (:
I hope you can make out what i am doing, but if not please leave a comment with your question below.

 I have made this heart pendant because I am not very wealthy, but I wanted to give my girlfriend a gift every once in a while anyway. I hope she will like it. It is made of two types of wood, one inserted in the other, and finally a silver heart inlaid in the wood. It could probably be done with heavy machinery like CNC routers and such, but i do not have access to those tools, so i made it by hand. 

Step 1: Drawing the shape

The first thing I did was to fire up Photohop and draw how I wanted the pendant to look like. The fact that I have made a heart shape is not essential for this project, it could easily have been made in other shapes. For inspiration I have included a few other shapes that you could use.

I have given it to her now, and she absolutely loved it. She was very very happy, so i myself could not be more satisfied.

That is beautiful and sweet. And I completely agree, your girlfriend will love it all the more because you made it and put in the time and thought for this.

Your girlfriend won't care that you are "not wealthy" when you present gifts like this - the thought, care and time you put into it give the pendant a value far beyond any shop-bought gewgaw.
