Inlay in cedar trunk
« on: February 18, 2014, 08:57:24 pm »
I just finished this trunk with maple inlays. 26" long 15" wide and 18" tall.  I have made over fifty trunks similar to this one but this is the first one with inlays on it. Four sixes is the name and brand of a local  horse and cattle ranch

Thank you for the kind words.  Folks:Once you know how, and are set up for it,  double bevel inlay is a snap.  The actual cutting time on each of those inlays takes about ten minutes.  It is simple but unforgiving.  You cannot go back and correct a "miss the line" cut like you can in fretwork.
