Wedding keepsake box

02-24-2012, 10:00 AM

This box is made of cherry . and the figures are maple and the lettering is aspen.
I had intended to inlay the motifs but I am not sure how to inlay the segments. Jim Sawyer suggested inlaying as one piece then carving in the details, but a v tool would be required which I don't possess.

Harry .

Sorry It was Jim Finn's suggestion, not Jim Sawyer.

I think it turned out great the way you did it! That cherry is beautiful!

Nice work.

I can see where inlay would work, but I like the applied technique as well.

Beautiful piece. I need to do something for my niece before mid June.

Reply to Cutting guide for straight cut on a scroolsaw

by Gary beasley

Cutting a straight line I get it started then plant my thumb at the side of the piece and use that to stabilize the cutting path, a bit like the pin you would use on a bandsaw when resawing old style.
