1st ever inlay. Maple in Walnut. Shoulder of child is part of lager walnut piece and the pocket was cut around it. More pics when this becomes a small sign later tonight. Done on my Joe's R&P. This is a second donation piece.

Mike, was it a v-bit that you used for cutting the pocket. Very nicely done! What bit did you use to cut the fine detail in the maple piece?

Nice work. I like the selection of grain in the walnut, especially the dark line running across through the inlay.
For those with new machines, the V carve inlay method is fast and rewarding. A tutorial can be found over at the vectric forum under the thread A simple way to make inlays in the V carve pro tricks, and tips section.
