John B Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Many thanks everyone for the kind remarks. I enjoyed making this box a lot. Mind you it was not without a few choice words every now and again. This was the second inlay piece for the top, the 1st I just wasn't happy with. I cut the centre of an (e) out the wrong direction, as a consequence it was to small. I cut and sanded a piece to fit but stuffed up the grain direction. This top went well with no hiccups. Once again thanks heaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Looked again John and I really like the way you do the corner joints with the dark strip up them. Do you glue a dark piece to each piece before you cut the 45 deg. joint? However you do it it really looks nice. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit the box in it with the blade set to cat 6mm into the cnr and make a cut in each cnr. I then glued a feather of Jarrah into the saw cut and planed and sanded it flush with the box..
