Thanks sidestepmcgee.
I used the Whiteside inlay bit set. I first got a picture of it on the computer and addd for the offset on the picture then cut it out of 1/4” mdf. I then used the template with the collar on the bit set and cut out the inlay part on the table top. I then took the template and put it on a 1/4” thick piece of red oak. And with the collar off the bit cut out the inlay. The inlay should fit right into the cutout you made on the top.

After a little bit of doing it you get better at it. On this one I had to do some sanding on the inlay part to get it to fit right but after alittle bit of effort it worked out.

Nicely done! I need to learn how to do this. My inlay skills are very weak.

A nice job on your inlays. I’m glad that the router bit set worked out. I’ve owned a bit set like that for about 10 years and haven’t used it yes maybe I’d do that some day.
