preprius Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Beautiful design. This inlay looks so interesting. So what is the scrap pieces used for? Quote
Scrappile Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Awesome, Dave. Such fine cutting on the inlay. I can never seem to get as sharp corners. Quote

I never have a plan for the scraps. Sometimes I can use them for other inlays but a lot of the time they end up in the trash. It's a lot of waste for sure but I like them and they sell well. heppnerguy 1 Quote

Your inlays look so good it is NOT worth worrying about using the scraps. danny and Dave Monk 1 1 Quote

Chris The top I used some clip art I found. I think I used one of Steve Good's patterns for the basis of the layers. Happy to share if you would like. heppnerguy 1 Quote

heppnerguy Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Your skills are so amazing. I always find myself in awe when I see one of your new projects. First time I have seen any dowels used in the making of a box. I immediately wondered about the dowels when I saw the photo of this box. It made me wonder about how you added that dark color as you did until I read you post. Interesting idea Dick heppnerguy Dave Monk 1 Quote
