Project for local university event.

[Jim Finn]

One of our local universities invites us each year for a Christmas event for children.  We (our club)  makes and distributes toys to the kids at this Christmas event.  They also ask us to provide a door prize for them.  They do pay the club for this and it is our only fundraiser for the year.

     This years event is themed "Mickey Mouse Christmas" so I made this cedar box for them.  It measures       8 1/2" x 11"x 3".  The inlaid woods are Walnut, Bois d'arc,. Pine, basswood and Bubinga

As a Mickey Fan, I love it.  Your work never ceases to amaze me on these boxes with the inlay.  Thanks for sharing.

That’s some great cutting, I don’t see how you do that with all the different woods, I have trouble just doing one color wood,  I agree with Dave you should hold class, RJ

WoW Jim, fantastic. I love Mickey. I'm going to try and do a small piece of inlay and see how I do. I've never done inlay before but love to try. Is there a pattern for that.

OMG!

Thanks for all the kind comments:

For patterns for many of my inlays I simply do an image search for what I want, and add "Line drawings" to it.  Although, this is the pattern I used for this project:

      I changed the color of Mickey's pants to match his shoes.
