Cherry inlay in bamboo pattern

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This is the bottom panel for a cherry piano bench I am building. I was about to glue up the sub assembly, but thought the poplar was just too plain, and I had some thin cherry strips left over from dimensioning the blanks a couple weeks ago. I use an 1/8” down spiral bit to try and avoid fuzz, and it worked great. After hand routing everything I epoxied the pieces in and then smoothed it all down with a hand plane. Haven't sanded anything yet, the plane and scraper did a great job, but I think I will, then finish it before glueing it into the assembly.It will be installed in the lower frame so the inlay can be seen from underneath the piano bench.here's a link to a video of the process.https://youtu.be/GX80bk5cdxw
