Good inlay gone horribly wrong
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My first time on here. I have been checking out Lumberjocks for months. I am so inspired by the collective talent on this website!!Well, this started as a bottle opener project for a friend. This was my first attempt at inlay and I was fairly happy with it but thought he deserved better than a bottle opener. This led me to cut out the inlay to use as an inlay in a cutting board of some type. The second picture shows the cutout on a geometric type board. This seemed way too busy, so I opted for a surfboard type board. This is where it all went wrong because, on the final sanding, I started sanding through the fins and flower. This is undoubtedly because of the multiple times it had been inlaid. I also left it slightly proud for scraping once it was inlaid into the cutting board for final scraping and sanding. I chose to rout out the botched veneers and use some black epoxy when I should have just made new veneers. Live and learn I guess.The final board is walnut, sapele, maple, and OBVIOUSLY black epoxy with mineral oil and beeswax.
