Popular Post Jim Finn Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I made this cedar box with a Dalmatian inlayed into the hinged lid. Box measures 8"x6"x2". Maple inlaid into cedar with black, chalk line chalk, mixed in white glue for the spots. This is a special order for a relative.

Badgerboy Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Intriguing, never thought of “tinting” glue with chalk. Need to give that a try as I am looking for a way to but brown spots over yellow stain on a giraffe puzzle for my granddaughter. Nice work.

Jim Finn Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Badgerboy; I have also used blue sidewalk chalk by sanding it to dust and adding to epoxy to fill in voids in cedar to make it look like turquoise inlay. No photo of that. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Thank you all for the kind comments; This was a pretty simple inlay. I just did five of these (without the name), a bit more complex. I use cedar a lot. It is easy to work, very popular and is cheap.
