Jim Finn Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I recently made these three boxes. Two are for coin collections and are made of cedar box with maple inlay. The other box is cedar box with coyote made of walnut, standing on a mahogany rock in front of a curly maple moon. lawson56, Lucky2, bobscroll and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Jim, You do 'The' most amazing work. Each is beautiful in it's own right. Are the coin and leaf scrolled with fill added? Thank you for the kind words folks. Yes, after cutting the outline of the leaf etc. I cut the interior lines with my scroll saw set back to 90 ° After gluing the inlay in place, I fill in these interior cuts with a mixture of white glue and sanding powder, cedar in this case, applied using a credit card used as a squeegee. I did the Coyote as a special order, last year, and liked it so I made this one to try to sell this summer at the farmers market I attend.

jamminjack Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Jim as usual very nice work. I love when you post your work..... Looking at the Maple leaf, Is there only one bridge at the top of the leaf that is holding is all together? very scary situation. True craftsmanship for sure. Thanks again for sharing...

heppnerguy Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Jim, I am always excited to open your posts and see what new thing you have come up with this time. As usual, you have not disappointed me. I love what you make and it always sparks me to get back to trying some inlay again. I hope I remember your wonderful work and get back at it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful projects with the rest of us to admire Dick Heppnerguy Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that one "bridge" did the trick. I make boxes, with inlays, most every day but I do not post them because I have posted them in the past. I make as may as 25 of one pattern to sell during the summer..I do not want to bore folks with repeated posts. I usually only post new designs, like these. Some items I sell before taking photos. Especially custom orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Where it says Obsessed Scroller just under your name you should put Inlay Magician because you certainly weave some magic into your inlay work. Love every piece. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
