    Another box with inlay

    My latest project. Magnolia blossom inlaid into hinged cedar box lid. Box measures 8"x 6" x 3" deep. Inlaid woods are Hard maple, poplar (leaves) and bois d'arc. I do this on my scroll saw using the "double bevel inlay" method.Magnolia 2017 rounded.jpg

    Love those things. More art than craft.

    Very nice! Is the veining done with the Bois d'arc or is that a cut that just goes dark with the finish?

    The interior lines in the flower, the bois d 'arc center, and the leaves are made by cutting on those lines with the scroll saw and filling that opening with a mixture of white glue and sanding dust. I do those lines after cutting out the inlay and before glueing it in place.
    If you look closely you will notice that those interior lines do not go all the way to the natural end of the line. I stop short of that in order to keep the piece from falling apart before I can glue it in place in the cedar background.
