Steve,

Thanks for your comments,

Inlay work is no real big deal once you get into it.

 

The strips you saw  are the result of 3 days of rain and me wondering what to do, so commenced the path to discovering how to make and fit inlays commenced.

All they are is initally two strips if timber of contrasting colours.

Cut them into short lengths about 30 to 50mm, turn then sideways and sandwich them between two more pieces and glue them all up, a bit fiddly but what else can you do when its raining.

Once the glue has dryed saw of the excess on the sides and then carefully saw them into narrow strips.

 

You may wish to have a look on the net ,there should be some good info there,  or I know a visit to Woodsmiths website and look in the additional online info will provide more info and pictures.

 

Regards

Yo James,

Thanks for sharing the impression, I got a real kick out of it as well,considering I made it after ferreting amout for scraps of material and then just kept adding bitsno plan no pressure just good results.
