leaf inlay to dining table
Hi All,
I have a beautiful dining table, solid,rustic and made from rosewood, or so I was told.
Over the years it has been used as a desk and has had a perfect hole drilled thriugh it for the cables to run through.
I was hoping to now make this hole a feature of the table by inlaying a leaf into resin.
Can anyone give me some ideas of how to do this.
Thank you
Chrissy

inlay
Hi Chrissy,
"inlaying a leaf into resin" What do you mean? You want to fill the whole with resin?
Can you send pictures of the table?
In theory these are the steps for inlay: (no resin)
- cut out the required piece you want to inlay,
- mark it around where you want to put it,- with Stanley knife, the more precise the marking the more accurate your inlay will be
- router out the debt of the marked out surface - not to the line dough!!! that is important, but few millimeter inside. The debt needs to be just a little be less then your piece to be inserted.
- chisel out the remaining to the line by hand
- make sure you cut the grains where you mark it deep enough to chisel easily
- glue it in and sand it to surface level
Have fun and good luck.
cheers kat
