Magnolia blossom inlay

[Jim Finn]

One of my customers requested that I make a box for them with a magnolia blossom inlaid into the lid. This is what I came up with. I made five of them because I like it and think others may like it also. I got the image through an image search on the web. Flower is made of maple and Bois'darc and leaves of poplar. Box lid is made of eastern red cedar. (aromatic)

Fabulous and very beautiful Jim. Woods chosen compliment one another. One question, what thickness hardwood did you use for the inlay? Thank you.

[Scrolling Steve]

That is very nice !.....Well done !

[Jim Finn]

 Thanks for the kind words.  I have not done many inlays this summer.  I have been selling plenty of them though and making and selling band saw boxes.  I use 3/8" wood for all these double bevel inlays.

Chihuahua! Man i could use some of your expertise here daily!

I made five of these.  My first sale to offer them is tomorrow but I only have one left!  The lady that made the original order wanted two additional ones after seeing the first.  I sold another to a friend so I am now down to just one.  I now know what I will be making more of, come Monday.

Very nice Jim.  I'm sure that will sell in seconds!

WoW Jim, that came out great. I wish I knew how to do inlay. I would love to try it.

[Denny Knappen]

Beautiful inlays, Jim.  The colors are great.

I offerd that last Magnolia blossom  box at the sale yesterday.  I sold thirteen boxes but not that one.  Go figure?

I call my projects like this one "my ego projects". They make me feel good and give me a sense  of accomplishment. If you price them for what you think their worth it doesn't seem like others appreciate the work and craftsmanshipn unless it means something personal to them. dave
