Inlays

The red oak & brass box has brass inlaid on the top and front. The poplar box has padauk inlaid on the front. The upper inlay is a mistake as I inadvertently rotated the box after a router fence adjustment.
The brass inlay required accuracy both in depth and length of the channel. They aren't able to be sanded flush like wood inlay. The channels required a bit of hand working under magnification to get correct
