DeanJackson Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Any good videos on how to do a butterfly inlay into a (lightly) cracked piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberwerks Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm not sure about videos but I can share a few photos with you. I make the butterflies first then scribe the outline on the wood. I remove the bulk of the waste either with a forstner bit or router. I tend to make the butterflies 2/3 - 3/4 the total thickness of the wood they are being inserted into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I love those, Dale! What is it that's cause the almost drastic change in color in an almost square shape in the one photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just epoxy. When I set the butterflies in I filled the crack with epoxy as well. It's a before finish photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
