I made another inlaid box. The key pattern was a lot easier to fit than the previous spiral. This one is hard maple with flip-fit walnut inlay. I also flocked the interior.
I made a build video, mostly for practice editing videos.
Some educational (for me) experiments in gluing the inlay. TL:DW: wood glue was a mess but, using CA from the back side worked pretty well, with the fallout hidden under the flocking.
So clean that it’s hard to tell that it’s been inlayed. You could tell people you cut a stencil and stained the wood and they wouldn’t second guess you!
