Bpardue Posted June 2, 2020 Report Posted June 2, 2020 Thought I would share a couple of photos of my current project. I'm doing a compass rose as an inlay. The Compass rose has 145 pieces and when completed it will be about 12" in diameter. It is being made out of 3/8" material. Once done and a final sand is completed it should be right at 3/16" thick. The hardest part with this inlay is that it is not only round but I have to make it so it will curve around to match the shape of the deck of the wooden stripped kayak that I'm building. I started the inlay about a week or so ago and have another day or so on it. Kayak was started 6 weeks ago. I am not only using the scroll saw for the inlay but used it to cut all the forms for the kayak. I'll be using the scroll saw for the paddles & seat lamination as well Woods in Inlay are cherry, walnut, mahogany, sycamore, yellow heart. There are also 3 different maples as well- soft curly, hard & spalted Woods for Kayak are Cypress with maple & mahogany accent strips. amazingkevin, jollyred, Jim McDonald and 4 others 7 Quote
