Hello, I have been commissioned to build an end table and coffee table. I plan on having a CNC do this inlay but wondering if it could be done in the shop without one.
Both are oval inlays to my discretion of size an shape. Lets just talk about one of them.
It will be 12x36 out of Padouk going into a Sapele table. Aorund the inlay will be a 1/16th inch strip of dyed black pearwood.
I have done inlays that were rectangular before with a simple router jig set up and a sanding blade on the table saw to get the tight fit.
Personally I think fitting a oval inlay into and oval hole with complete accuracy may prove to be difficult without it being CNC.
Thanks for any suggestions
