And I'm so glad you asked about the edge of the inlay. I knew someone would ask. The answer is no in this case, but for "serious" work I do take the inlay and plane a slight bevel on each edge, tapered in at the bottom, so the knife line is ever so slightly smaller than the inlay's outline. Couple that with the burnishing technique and you get an inlay that looks like it grew in the tree.Jameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-50569596412338378562012-01-31T19:38:18.763-06:002012-01-31T19:38:18.763-06:00Because I would have had to make a BC logo first, ...Because I would have had to make a BC logo first, and I was lazy that night. ;-)Jameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-26997192974320979962012-01-31T19:37:15.798-06:002012-01-31T19:37:15.798-06:00The record player was on more than the TV when I w...The record player was on more than the TV when I was a kid.

For the tight corners I modified a marking knife to have a longer tip, and inverted, it works perfectly to clean out those tight corners.

...Thanks folks. Glad you got something out of it. <br /><br />The chisels I use are a combination of Lie-Nielsen Bevel Edge, a couple from Czeck Edge (these are great for detail work since they are short), and a couple shop-made tools I made from files. For this sort of work you almost have to make your own tools, although you can get 1/16" chisels now pretty easily. I have an Ashley Isles that I bought for this purpose some months ago. I only remembered it when I putting my tools away after doing this inlay! <br /><br />Here's how I make those little parquetry pieces: <br />http://www.popularwoodworking.com/articleindex/precision-inlay-simple-toolsJameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-92208445243021044282012-01-29T14:59:16.266-06:002012-01-29T14:59:16.266-06:00There were some great tips on how to do inlay.
