My first attempt at shell inlay. I made the overlay from 1/8" walnut. The shell inlay is abalone.

Looks great!  I have my first inlay material waiting on the bench to try - any tips or tricks for us newcomers to this art?  Thanks!

Th

Thanks guys! Yup, my first try. I used a router, the only way to do it really. I made on for my Dremel flex shaft. If you look thru my photos, you will see photos of the tools I made for inlay. I based the design on the Stew Mac router, mine is not as slick, but it does the job (I'm sure JUJU could build a better version).

Cheers!

Great job Andy - are you sure it's your first time :)

Very nice! I'm just looking round to see how to do this sort of thing. Do you have to use a router or can you do it with just a chisel?

 

Nice work! :)
