Yesterday I whipped out this box for a niece's 8th BD. I used some clip art for the parrot. I'm still 3-d impaired, so really need to think about the angles for the holes and the direction of the cuts. Thanks to the other Jim's for the tutorial and for giving me courage to try multiple piece inlays. There are more complex things that I want to tackle, but I needed to get this one done and in the mail.

Nice job. I have the same problems with drilling the holes and direction of cut. I think in time it will just get to be a natural thing for us.
