Janel Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi Tom, finally a moment for this one. I am intrigued by the tendrils. I can't figure out by the description, and only assume that the tendrils are also inlaid? What a delicate element to the design! Thanks for showing us this one.

tsterling Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi Janel, Yes, the tendrils are inlaid as well. Actually an easy technique - just make a small saw kerf, glue in short sections of the appropriately colored wood. The inlays are just thin sections (not very wide) sharpened to a chisel point and glued in one at a time next to each other. The more extreme the curve, the shorter the segment of chisel pointed inlay wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
