I’m experimenting with string inlay and noticed Jon3’s rendition of Steve Latta’s (LN) tools. Thought I’d give it a shot. Since I didn’t want to make my own blades I ordered them from LN. They are backordered 2-3 weeks. Must be very popular items. If anyone else has homemade string inlay tools I would really like to see them.

How do they work? I’m fairly new to woodworking and have seen a few things opn string inlay.
Do they cut the rabbit in the wood and will do different widths?

Chuck,
I’ll let you know as soon as my blades arrive from LN. They are backordered 2-3 weeks. I just got into inlay and am looking forward to trying them.

Jim,
I used the above link to help me build the tools. Jon has a lot of narrative and photos. Let me know how it goes.
