My most challenging inlay to date.

[Dave Monk]

The pattern is a by Steve Good.  I altered the size of the box to suit. I made the side walls thicker also to make it easier for gluing. I also miters the sides instead of cutting them out of one piece of wood. His pattern was not calling for an inlay but I wanted the challenge. I will say the it was the toughest inlay to date. I used maple and walnut.

I definitely made it for my own enjoyment because I could never charge enough to pay for my time.

I attached the pattern.  I made the side walls 1 1/4" tall and 3/4" thick. Made the top and bottom about and inch deeper.

Great work. I don't see any starter holes. When I try to do inlay with the scrollsaw the starter holes always stand out.

I try to get my starter holes in the walnut using 1/32" drill bit. I use Famo wood for filler.

HAH! What an under statement. You put this out there and watch it sell fast.One of a kind ,There are no more .Dragon lovers have the need to have more dragons just like tattoo's.

Excellent work, Dave !

Absolutely stunning work as always Dave.  You continue to amaze me with the time and effort you put in to create such beautiful pieces.  I'm with Kevin.  Decide a price and put it out there.  If no buys it - its still yours but you might be surprised that some one is willing to pay for your high quality of work you have done here.  Thanks for sharing.
