Practice inlay piece to test technique for a larger project. This is Walnut, African Mahogany, and Cherry. It’s 12” x 6”. Pockets and inlay pieces were drawn freehand in Fusion 360, cut on the CNC, then each piece hand filed and fitted. Leaf veins were cut by hand, as well. Finish is 2 lb. cut Shellac and applied with French polish method. Veins are highlighted with Mohawk Van Dyke Brown glazing stain. Finish took about 20 minutes from bare wood.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Yes, but I prefer the more traditional inlay and pocket. Got to admit the V bit inlay would be easier, though!

Great job. Looks perfect from what I could see in the photo. Interested in seeing the larger project when you finish it.
I've been thinking about doing some wood banjo armrests (or at least a couple for me) with custom inlay. Just haven't taken the initiative yet to practice and do so, but your inlay gives me a little more motivation.
