Jim Finn Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I made this toy box for a friend/customer and inlaid maple into walnut for the name plate. Just another way to use a technique once you learn it. (Inlay) Doug, oldhudson, Travis and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrpeteo Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 That looks great Jim, one question... do you leave the centers of the "a" and "e" solid, then come back in a second step to inlay them? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 That looks great Jim, one question... do you leave the centers of the "a" and "e" solid, then come back in a second step to inlay them? Pete No, not really... I cut the "S" and the "Y" separate, in this case, and the other letters in two groups. The inside of the "e" and the "a" I cut as I come to them. I make a cut through the maple inlay to get to the inside and then after cutting out the center cedar, back out the same cut to then continue on to cut the outside of the letter. Kinda' hard to explain and tricky to figure out but now, after doing it many times, I can do it easily. You can see how I did this "a" in another inlay. The secret is to keep the white, inlay part of the letter to the right side of your blade with the white, maple wood on the bottom and the saw table tilted down on the left. jrpeteo and Wilson's Woodworking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson's Woodworking Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looks great but sounds complicated. Marg Give it a try Marge. It isn't as complicated as it seems. Just take your time and get your angle correct for the thickness of wood you choose and the width of the blade and you will whip right thru it and I promise you will enjoy it. wombatie and Jim Finn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put it onto my to do list Danny along with Intarsia and metal cutting. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
