Looks great Jim thanks for sharing

Double Bevel inlay (or marquetry) is simply cutting the lettering, or the image, on two different colored woods that are stacked so you cut them both at the same time. Having the scroll saw table slightly tipped so one side is lower than the other cuts the wood on an angle so that one piece fits tightly to the cut out on the other.

     I find it quite easy to do.  This is the very first inlay I did. I sold it! 

One best be proficient in using a scroll saw first.

Very nice!

You are a master of the inlay art, very nice and your choice of wood is always the best

[Denny Knappen]

Said before and I will say it again, Jim you are the master of inlay.  All of your work is awesome.

[Scrappile]

So, both pieces of wood are 1/2" and stacked, you are cutting that detailed of a silhouette in 1" of woods, at an angle, with a very small blade?  Yep, a person must be proficient with a scroll saw.  And I can not find an entry hole.....

Always love seeing your inlay work.  I'm like Paul - wish you I lived closer to you or Dave to "see" how you do it it.  Stunning inlay work you both do. Thanks for sharing.

Your work is always excellent. Someday I'm going to try an inlay with a scroll saw. I've done them a couple times with a router but, of course, it's not the same.

I resaw all my wood to 3/8".  I drill the 1/16" entry holes at a 6.5 degree angle.  The scroll saw is set to a 2 degree off of 90 degree cut.
