I have been making lots of these cedar and oak boxes with images inlayed into the hinged lids .I use a “double bevel inlay” method. Boxes measure 11”x8” x 2 1/2”. I have over 75 different designs I make. 95% are cedar with poplar inlay. I sell these at street fairs and festivals here in West Texas so I do a lot of western stuff. Most popular is the Mason logo and the Methodist logo.

Nice work. How thick is the material that you are double bevel cutting?

Very nice work. Did you make your own templates? What material do you use for them?

3/8” Cedar and 3/8” poplar. Finished thickness > 3/8” What material for the templates? Masonite. I just use a red pencil to mark the outline on the light colored wood. The images with internal lines like this horse head I use carbon paper to mark the poplar.

That Fleur De Lis box is exactly what I want to make for my wife, seeing she’s from Louisiana and all. I’d love to learn how to do inlays. Any good websites with information on how to do this?

...........................................This is just one of the sites that talk about how to do this. You can do a search for “double bevel inlay” or “Double bevel marquetry” and find more.
