Wedding keepsake box

02-24-2012, 11:00 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.

I'm not sure where the best place to post this would be, but it made sense to me to start here. I'm starting to plan for my first (ever) scrolling demo at our county fair this year. Besides the saw to show how cutting is done I want to have a display of sorts that people walking by could view. My...
