wdkits1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Hi EveryoneHere is a sneak peak of my newest Intarsia project.This is the top section of a fairly large frame (24" x 30") made from cherry with Custom Inlay using Maple , Purpleheart and Lignum Vitae (Green).I used a hinge mortising router bit and 1/2" plywood pattern to recess the inlay. I used a dremel tool with a 5/64" high speed cutter to do the detail carving on the leaves.Intarsia consists of 41 pieces. Gluing up the frame is the next step.
