I am making progress here… not bad for v-carve inlay #3 (counting the prototype).
I sliced the inlay block off with the tablesaw, leaving about 1/16 of an inch of extra wood that will need to be sanded down, I was presented with this beauty…
Looks great, but that was what was supposed to be flush with the wood. The fit around the edges was really good, so I think I need to mill the pocket slightly larger and deeper than the inlay.
As expected I lost quite a bit of detail sanding down the inlay to be flush with the board. I also have a few small pockets that I will need to fill with resin before I sand it to 120 grit then flip it over and cut out the boxes.
For scale…
