My first inlay box

[rdatelle]

Well I finally got up enough nerve to try to do an inlay. This is Steve Goods pattern. I used walnut and maple and birch. I set the saw at 3%. Started at 2 then two and a half and finally 3. Fit pretty good. Now I have to try something a little harder. Trying to figure out how to get different colors of wood in the pattern. Not sure if I have to stack all the different color wood together for each separate piece.

Very nice inlay. Did you turn the bowl too? It also is very nice.

Les, it's  Steve Good pattern. Pretty easy to do. I need to find some inlay patterns now.

Marg, if I can do it, I know you can also. I haven't figured out how to do different color designs yet.

Super job Ralph! That came out great.

I agree with everyone, great job. I look forward to seeing more and any info anyone shares on doing multiple colors to the inlay. Like Marge said, you are being a great inspiration to those of us who are contemplating giving this a try. Thanks for sharing.
