First Inlay Projects

Thanks to inspiration from Marc's video I've been working on router inlays for the last couple of weeks and it has been a learning experience and a lot of fun.

I started small with an inlay that only required a couple of pieces (the cat) and then moved on to more involved stuff (the pansy and the rose).

Thanks gang!

 

 

Wow ! I am guessing purpleheart and paduck in the third pic?

Yep.

Purpleheart, Padouk, Redheart, Cherry, Yellowheart, Wenge, and a piece of Rosewood for good measure.

...on a Walnut backgound.

I went a little crazy including the new woods I recently got.

Next time perhaps a little more restraint.

 

All of those exotics were twice as (janka) hard as anything I've worked with before.

That was fun.

They came off the scroll saw glass smooth with a 2/0 blade.

Incredible!
