Inlay I finished this week
« on: May 09, 2014, 08:44:25 am »
The buyer ordered three of these.  His design and his idea to put the year on the front panel of this 11 x 8 box.  I may make some local school/collage logos on box lids with 2014 inlaid into the front panel like this.  I think it would made a nice graduation gift. Cedar box with maple and oak inlays.  These boxes are to be awarded to the officers of a Masonic lodge who served in 2013.

Sharp. Looks like a complicated inlay to cut.

Thanks for the kind comments.  The complicated part is that I first had to inlay the cross then went back and inlaid the crown over it. It did take some thinking and planing for sure.  Taking on custom orders like this makes me stretch my skills and gives me some useful ideas.

Jim you did a magnificent job.  Definitely and A+.  We all need to stretch the old grey matter once in a while.  Your customer will be impressed also.
