This is my Sunbird door I made for a friend’s new house.
This is the inside
This is the outside
These doors are 1 3/4 in. thick with a plywood insert on which I do my inlay, usually different designs on front and back. People give me ideas and I enjoy creating them in wood. My techniques are somewhat primitive. I do the background first , cut out the designs, trace around them and cut into background pieces. Like a giant puzzle.
Thanks for your interest in my work!

Never saw a door like it. Great job, looks time consuming. How is it sealed?

Thanks for your encouraging comments. I sealed it with several coats of Polyurethane (clear satin). Some times I like just the colors of the different woods and sometimes I paint the pieces. The door I am working on now has flowers so I am making it really colorful. This site is very good for the ego!

awsome!!!!!! I’m courious like patron, How long does it take you to go from start to finish? I’ve been wanting to get into inlay work myself, any tips on tools I should be looking at or more important tips on what to avoid? L.O.L. I tried once and it was oh crap that didn’t come out right L.O.L. This is good for the burn pile. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work I’ll be looking for your post
