Inlay in very thin wood
« on: September 11, 2019, 08:24:25 am »
I need to do some inlays into 3/16" thick wood and I did not want to change my saw table angle so I simply inlayed my usual 3/8" wood into the thinner wood.  I just pushed the thicker wood through until the back was flush and cut off and sanded the excess on the front.  These are three sliding tops for wine bottle boxes. only 3/16" thick.

Jim love your inlays.  I have your instructions bookmarked and it is on my to do list.

Question.  In the leaves you have some veining.  Do you just fill these with sawdust or are they part of the inlay.

Thanks

The internal lines on  the leaf and the grapes are saw  cuts I make with my scroll saw and then, after I glue the inlay in place, fill them with a mixture of white glue and sanding dust that I get from my  orbital sander.
