Popular Post Dave Monk Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 A client commissioned me to make a jewerly box for his wife for their anniversary. He gave me a picture of some hibiscus he wanted inlayed into the top which I made a pattern for. He also wanted the message put under the lid. I got it done way ahead of schedule but this time of year I start getting super busy with shows.

Charlie E Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) That's phenomenal, Dave! Such cool joinery. I can picture someone 100 years from now imagining the maker. I've got to try making some boxes for my grandkids.

MarieC Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Dave that is absolutely beautiful! So I am curious, you inlayed the flowers, which I assume you cut at an angle, but did you do another layer of wood under the top so that is why we don't see the bottom of the flowers onced you open the lid....hope my question makes sense....Marie Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 pieces of 1/4". The top piece I cut to fit the intarsia into, the second piece is solid and the third I scrolled the message into and glued them all together. heppnerguy and MarieC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do nice work Ralph. Don't be afraid to try something new. The worst that can happen is it becomes firewood.
