wood inlays

Post by JJ model » Thu Oct 30, 2008 2:55 am

Hi Guys,
How are you all doing?
I've posted some new inlay idea on the OLF and probably some of you folks already have seen it. Anyway I'm posting here again and I hope some will be inspired. Enjoy!

This is a block of 'Rengas' aka 'Borneo Rosewood

Shape it to leaflike profile

Wrapped and superglued with maple veneer

Another layer of masking tape to prevent spilts

slice it to about 1.5mm thick
Image
works well with the dark blackground.

This is really a great post, Jeff. It's SO nice to have real wood inlays that both show imagination and give the opportunity for others to be creative as well.

Big Mahalo's (thanks)... :D

I saw this over on the OLF, and it immediately got me out in the shop looking for suitable pieces of wood to give it a try. It's a brilliant idea that has great potential for all kinds of designs.
