Popular Post JimErn Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) of what wood looks good after sanding and finishing, needs some work. First double inlay red cedar base, basswood walls, curly maple with red cedar and red oak inlay and though not shown, hunter green flocking inside EDIT: I finally figured out what has been bothering me about this pic, the wall of the box is basswood, basswood is white. not being the sharpest ac in the box I took the pic on a gloss yellow backing I had, photoshop to get rid of the yellow back drop and just missed that the white basswood had picked up the yellow reflection.

JimErn Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks for the kind words y'all. Any of you wood guru's have suggestions for the two types of wood for that kind of inlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says that is pretty, thinking fast I say it tells a story too her: really, what? Me : The hearts are cedar that is a soft wood, when two soft, gentle hearts come together they are as strong as an oak, the center part. her: awe! there was a happy ending that night meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I edited the original but thought I would repeat it here since if you are like me, you only check on new posts to a thread I finally figured out what has been bothering me about this pic, the wall of the box is basswood, basswood is white. not being the sharpest ac in the box I took the pic on a gloss yellow backing I had, then I used photoshop to get rid of the yellow back drop and just missed that the white basswood had picked up the yellow reflection.
