First Inlay Project

[Bwcherry]

Cutting board for a friend. Left handed Fender Telecaster. Everything is inlay except music symbols which are lasered. Made lot's of mistakes and took several months, but mistakes are good. They teach us.

Beautiful work!

[Holzarbeiter]

Wow, if that is your first inlay project I cannot wait to see the others! Beautiful work.

[Rcnewcomb]

That is a very fine "first" inlay project.

Very impressive
A good combination of inlay and laser work.
Look forward to more inspirational ideas from you

It's pretty clear that you've a very experienced woodworker and that your CNC skills are well beyond "beginner" status! Thank you for sharing your lovely carving board with us. Awesome!

Ok, tell us how you wrapped those inlayed picks around the juice groove. The inlay must be really thick. That looks amazing. +1

[Bwcherry]

The inlay is roughly .21 and the juice groove is .25 so some will show. The picks were an after thought because I accidentally went too deep on the clearing of the guitar body and had to come up with something to cover it. Lots of prayer later, then came the idea of the picks.

A master woodworker once taught us, "If you can't hide your mistake, turn it into a feature."

That is very impressive for sure

Absolutely beautiful! If this is a first, can’t wait to see when you have had some practice.

Impressively Awesome!!!

I believe I probably would not use that cutting board!

Great Job on a First Inlay!
I, myself have yet to attempt an inlay project!
