Could you kind folks please share with me your methods for doing inlay in solid wood??
Most specifically, different shapes, like ovals, triangles etc.
I have the inlay kit where you route the recess with the collar on, then remove the collar and route the inlay piece, problem with this is I am doing some small (2") ovals and triangle and even tho I cut my template to account for the collar, it doesnt get into the corners.
I also tried drawing the shape, using a router and an 1/8" bit to remove most of the waste, then a chisel to clean up the edges, and what I have left resembles a football that has been chewed up by a dog :(
And just to give more info, I am trying some Stickly arts&crafts inlays in white oak.
Thanks
Dave
