Popular Post Dave Monk Posted May 14, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 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. thepopela, MTCowpoke22, Dan and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE_M Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Great work. I don't see any starter holes. When I try to do inlay with the scrollsaw the starter holes always stand out. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 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. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
