My First Inlay, A Cheese Board

[LarryEA]

Thank you Jim Finn for your your instructions on doing inlays.

 

This is a cheese board...

The inlay is a Mahogany Panther and the board is Birdseye Maple.

I think I found another area of scrolling I am going to enjoy.

 i have to try inlay cutting

Very nicely done Larry.  Similar to inlay is marquetry which is doing inlay but with veneer instead of thicker wood.   Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi Larry

 

Looks excellent and well done. I enjoy doing inlay and plan on doing more once I complete other projects on my list.

[browders]

Great job on the inlay Larry. Can't wait to see more of your inlay work as you explore this area of scrolling.

That came out really good. Thanks for sharing.

[Jim Finn]

Good job on that.  I see you have it pretty well figured out.  I USUALLY have the grain on the inlaid image running the same way as the background wood, but not always.  I have never done a cutting board.  I should try that.

Inlay  is the magic of the wood workers skills.Before joining ssv i've seen wood work ,which was inlay ,but i didn't know at the time  That really intreged me.how in the world did they fit the pieces so close and not see any gap.Well here you go LarryEa just did a demonstration of how to do it correctly and flawless.this will add $ to his great works he's producing already.He caught one so quick too.looks like the ceilings going to be the limit for him now.Great work larry.

[LarryEA]

Thank you one and all.

Gee,  DW... now I gotta learn marquetry and I'm not comfortable

with inlay. I guess I'll just have to spend more time in the shop...dag nabit.

Larry,  glad to see that you jumped feet first and gave this inlay stuff a shot. I was amazed that i could do it too. I think with all the good directions that Jim shared with us, makes one feel that he too might be able accomplish that which seems impossible. You did it.  I too am going to do more of it come the first of the year. Nice job,, I like it a lot.
