to woodworkers, artisans, and craftspersons everywhere.
and hopefully it also offers something of value
to all experienced woodworkers, and craftspeople.
Decorative wood inlay bandings may be used
in a wide variety of applications.
Picture framers may use them as
fillets, spacers, inlaid mats, and inlaid moldings (Brit:mouldings.)
for unique one-of-a-kind custom frames.
Woodworkers, cabinetmakers, carpenters, craftspeople,
may use them for
inlaying kitchen cabinet doors, counters,
tabletops, floors, and any number of other unique projects
Antique restorers can duplicate and repair old inlay designs.
The applications are limited only by your imagination.
~~Terminology~~
~~Purchasing Wood~~
~~Designing & Creating Inlay Panels and Bandings~~
~~Multi-stage Designs~~
~~Dyeing Wood and Veneer~~
~~Building a Combination Vertical & Horizontal Press~~
~~Sanding Your Bandings~~
~~Complimentary Designs~~
Once you become familiar with the process,
you will be unlimited in a wide variety of designs you will be able to create.
We recommend that you start the designing process
using computer graphics FIRST as shown below.
Then fill in the graphics with computerized colors.
When you are happy with your graphic design,
create your final product.
This technique preserves your valuable veneer and
expensive wood inventory and other materials such as wood dyes.
Then once you have selected the inlay design you want to create,
proceed to the actual manufacture of your design as we describe in our PDF-CD.
The PDF CD contains two main folders.
The FIRST FOLDER contains four free *Bonus Gifts* for you.
One of those four gifts is quite a large *VENEER LIBRARY.*
If you work with wood, you will probably refer to it over-and-over again.
The veneer images also show both the *common* and *Specie* names.
The SECOND FOLDER is also very large and contains
the entire design and manufacturing processes in one long scrollable file.
If your system allows, you may be able to access thumbnail images of all the pages
in a separate window on the left side of your screen
for immediate access to your desired page(s) without using the scroll bar.
A great time saver.
