I had several of you guys ask me about doing an inlay video. Our grandsons have been staying with us for the past week. My oldest one is twelve and is great on computer stuff so he helped me do this. -

One of our local universities invites us each year for a Christmas event for children. We (our club) makes and distributes toys to the kids at this Christmas event. They also ask us to provide a door prize for them. They do pay the club for this and it is our only fundraiser for the year. This years event is themed "Mickey Mouse Christmas" so I made this cedar box for them. It measures 8 1/2" x 11"x 3". The inlaid woods are Walnut, Bois d'arc,. Pine, basswood and Bubinga .

I'd normally use my CNC router for stuff like this, but it was tied up with another project. I wanted to try a new (for me) hinge, experiment with different wood combinations, and spray lacquer from a gun for the first time. Erik = Santos Mahogany with Figured Eucalyptus inlay. I learned from this one that it looks better when the figure is on the box and the letters are plainer. Sherry = Bubinga with Guatambu inlay. I like Bubinga, thought I had some yellowheart scraps for the letters but couldn't find it. Edward = Low figured Leopardwood with Wenge inlay. The blade went a bit wonky on the final d. Both nice woods, but next time I'd brush on a 2nd or 3rd coat of sealer before spraying because the pores are very open. All approx 5W x 9L x 2.25H.

Ok, I'm sure some of you were hoping this was in wood . . . in time, I'll get back to wood, but I just need to get metal out of my system first. In any case, you have to admit, you have probably never seen this done with coins before :-)The gold/bronze inlayed coin is a Greek 100 Drachma, the copper is a Provident Mint coin. Blade was 2/0, angle for inlay was just under 8 degrees. You can't really tell it in the picture, but I lucked out and the inlay is perfectly flush and tight. I'll probably drill a hole in the top for a chain or something.-----Randy

One of my customers requested that I make a box for them with a magnolia blossom inlaid into the lid. This is what I came up with. I made five of them because I like it and think others may like it also. I got the image through an image search on the web. Flower is made of maple and Bois'darc and leaves of poplar. Box lid is made of eastern red cedar. (aromatic)

I had a small sale today. In an out of the way place, and not a whole lot of shoppers, but I did manage to sell fourteen cedar boxes with images inlaid into the hinged lids. I also sold a custom order for two more. Not a whole lot of shoppers there but still well worth my effort. I only took boxes with me today because it was an inside sale with only two six foot tables to display my stuff. I left my wooden stars at home. I have only one more show scheduled this year but I am still looking for any others that may pop up nearby.

Well, seems like the first 2 clocks I made drew quite an interest. On one hand this is good, I hate making "dust" collectors, I'd rather make things that have purpose. After seeing the pics of the clocks my wife put on her FB page one of her dog people asked if I could make one from a picture she had. My answer, "tell her to send it and I'll see what I can do" The first pic is what she sent, picture 2 is the clock I made. Still need to put poly on it, but it's done for the most part. The light wood is maple and the dark is walnut. I must admit I love the challenge of taking a picture and turning it into a wood project. I really love the sanding part (I know, weird eh!!) but that's when the wood comes to "Life". Know what I mean ! Hawk.

My wife asked me to make a couple of clocks she can take to the Springer Spaniel National dog show for the raffle table. Here's what I came up with. I took a Springer portrait pattern I had and re-sized it to fit the clock. Then With sharpie in hand simplified the pattern for inlay. Then off to the scroll saw. They came out purddy good !!!! They are about 11" in diameter and are Maple and Walnut.

I made this box as an anniversary gift for my wife. I made the scroll saw pattern in Photoshop. The inlay I had to do with the drill press and a plug cutter, as the dots are only about 1/4 inch. Each dot is a separate species of wood, each commonly found in important places she's lived in her life: Germany, England, Hawaii, Utah, Michigan, and Indiana (the heart itself).
