inlay on a box lid

[mtnman]

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 Jim. I really like the parrot. The inlay looks great.
I tried the inlay challenge & I also still need to think about the drilling angle & cuts.

Thanks for the comments. It seems that I've been out of the shop way too long. Good to get back in there.

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.

Today I received a phone call from an excited girl telling me how she likes birds and loves the box. Now that is my kind of payday.
