browders Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 That's a very impressive job. What angle did you end up using? LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi Larry That is still nice inlay work your doing. Getting the right angle applies to the thickness of wood. You will be amazed once you do acquire the right contrasting woods. This type of inlay is what I call painting with wood. LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Consider images that are not just silhouettes. Interior lines can be added after the outline is cut. I tape the top and bottom wood of the cut out together and cut the interior lines on a scroll saw set with the blade at 90 degrees. Two reasons to stack cut these two pieces.... 1)The interior lines of the image are already drawn on the top wood, and 2) cutting double thickness slows the cutting speed down a bit and this gives you more control. The color photo of an intarsia I did, I used with carbon paper to put the drawing onto the wood. Then In the inlay photo you can see the interior lines I cut in the horse head inlay.
