I love to inlay! It’s a really fun way to color with wood, create something fun or very traditional!
You can use it in furniture, jewelry or wall art…
I prefer to use plain wood veneers and just the natural colors (I very seldom use dyed veneer – personal choice). When I first started doing veneer inlay, I made myself a veneer sample board. On one side it is the natural raw veneer and on the back side is the same veneers but with a finish on them so I could see them in all their glory. This made it easier for me to pick veneers for a certain look or feeling.
