:Darryl,Thank you for your explanation. Yes, it is clear what and how you did it and I have used and made scratch stock so that is easy. I'll try your method, Thank you again.Ron Ron,: I assume you are referring to the maple string inlay between the lacewood pie's. This is done with whats called "scatch stock", basically a piece of a bandsaw blade with the teeth ground off and a small square "tooth" put on the end the exact width of the veneer. That is held in a block of wood and dragged precisely over the joint between two pieces of veneer using a 1" thick straight edge. A narrow strip of veneer is glued and tapped into this "scratched" groove standing on edge. Once the glue dries the inlay veneer is brought down to the main veneer surface and the next strip is scratched in. Do each goove individually, putting in the inlay before going on to the next one so the veneer near the tips do not chip out. Hope this explains the process clear enough.: Sincerely: Darryl Keil: : : Darryl, I am a student at Palomar College Furniture Building courses in California and have just : : completed my first 16 point starburst match. Came out very well. My question is how did you: : set up the narrow stripes on your demi-lune table featured in Fine Woodworking and your : : video? Did you make your first 22.5 degree cut, then tape the narrow felleti and make the : : second cut? I've tried one using teak and maple, but I just did not like the outcome.: : If it is not to difficult to answer on the forum, I would appreciate learning how it was done: : so that I might be able to do the same.: : Thank you for any information you can send.: : Regards,: : Ron
