First intricate inlay attempt

[Rusty Eads]

I have done straight inlays before but here is my first attempt at something with curves and a different design. Made this trinket box for my fiance as a bribe for spending so much time in the shop

[Jim Rimmer]

Nice job. I'm practicing on inlays myself. How did you get the points of the ears so sharp?

[Eiji Fuller]

Now you've done it. She's gonna think youre a playboy.

or maybe you've got yourself a bunny

[Rusty Eads]

The bunny was cut using a regular coping saw and then I traced around it and chiseled the shape in the maple, glued the bunny head down and then sanded til flush. One of the ears did have a bit of chip out but once i sanded, it pretty much blended in

Oh I'm a playboy alright, my other love and mistress exists downstairs in the form of a ever expanding woodshop
