Book Description
Inlay is a wonderful way to create flowers, scenes, figures, and other intricate and colorful designs on wood objects--and a great opportunity to work with small quantities of rare and costly woods (also precious metals, leather, mother-of-pearl, and other materials). Today, since veneers and marquetry have come to substitute for inlay, this book helps to carry on the tradition of an almost forgotten art, and shows modern craftspeople how to use it to make plain objects special. Through detailed instructions, diagrams, and photographs, every step in the inlay process unfolds, including a special section on finishing. The spectacular projects feature everything from a pretty floral tray to Christmas ornaments, from a bookstand to a set of nested bowls--even jewelry!

Book Description
Inlay in America today often adorns guitars, banjos, mandolins and other musical instruments, as well as furniture, fine woodwork, jewelry, wall hangings, and various objets d'art. Designs range from simple monograms, vignettes or patterns, to elaborate scenes of nature, history, or fantasy. This book is a spectacular showcase of some of the finest examples of this art, and an inside look at how to create it. The author tells you about the tools and techniques used to transform these elements into inlay. He describes in detail every step of the process and every aspect of the art - from drawing the initial design to touching up the finished object. And you'll get plenty of tips and tricks along the way.
