About this title

Synopsis:

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!

From the Author:

The promotional presented for the book THe Art of Wood Inlay has been well crafted up to the point where it states Has all the information that you would need to design and create your own beautiful pearl and wood inlays for guitar,petal steel, banjo, mandelin and other instruments. These clames are not quite true. The type of inlay described in the book is of a diffetent style, easier to learn and to do with very fiew tools. It is also true to its tittle in that it only deals with wood in wood. The technique may apply to outher materials but I have no experience in using it for that purpose. The claim, I feel, is misleading. To me it would seem to put the book into the same catagory as all the other books on Inlay. By not lumping it together with all the other books, it could then be seen as an easy Inexpensive way to do inlay which does not take years of practice to master. Thank you for the opertunity to make comment. J.G.A.S.
