Popular Post Jim Finn Posted June 28, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I made this 8'x6"x2" cedar box for a donation item for a Local university's Christmas event for children. The theme this year is "The Grinch" . Woods used are: bubinga, poplar, bois d'arc, basswood, and cedar. Image is inlaid into the hinged lid using the "double bevel inlay " method with a scroll saw.

I'm impressed, Jim! I have done no fretwork but I have done some cutting letters out of flat wall hung plaques. Inlay is much quicker to do. The time spent at the saw is about five- eight minutes per color. More time than that is spent sanding and glueing the inlay, and of coarse about two hours making and finishing the box. I encourage anyone, with scroll saw experience, to try inlay. I have one saw set up at the angle needed for inlay and use it only for that.
