Popular Post Jim Finn Posted November 15, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 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 . Birchbark, MTCowpoke22, rjweb and 11 others 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjweb Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 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 Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 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. Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) 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.
