Playing with Inlays

I really like the look of Bocote. Also, eventually I’d like to try inlay as well. How did you enjoy it?

Great Lookin Job

LisaC: I liked the inlay a lot. You really do have to sneak up on matching the sizes. Starting with the circular disk for the inlay and then cutting a matching place in the top of the box was easiest for me, but you could do it either way.

The nice part about it is that I get to use pieces I have parted off as waste from other projects like bowls and such. When it fits together well it really makes the contrast pop out at you. Give it a try.

They look great well done.

Great turnings. Super job on the inlays.

Fantastic job. I really like the inlays. Nice choice of woods. I use a lot of “unknown” wood also. Most of mine comes from pallets.

Have also gotten some wood from trees but mine were cut on purpose. Just don’t get the storms in this part of Arizona.

Great turnings. Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Thanks to all for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
