Dave Monk Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 My customer picked up these boxes this morning at the Farmers Market and was very pleased, which of coarse pleased me. They measure 6" x 8" made of maple, cherry and walnut. I am also including a couple other simple projects that I have added to my collection this week. dave New Guy, amazingkevin, lawson56 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Dave, I love how you do your inlay. Very tight. Are you cutting twp pieces of wood together when you do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ralph, On the boxes I put a piece of cherry on top of the maple and cut through at about 2 1/2 degree angle and cut the image in. I glue that in and then lay a piece of walnut on top of that and cut my lettering in. The biggest trick is making sure you glue it in well so when you do your second inlay little pieces of the first don't fall out. I use double faced scotch tape when I stack the two pieces together for cutting. I'm thinking when Jim Finn does his he uses a hot glue gun. I don't have one so I have never tried that. In my oppinion the thicker the wood the harder it is to get a good job. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks Dave. I would of never thought of doing a 2 1/2 angle. Is that what makes it a tighter fit. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
