Beautiful table. Would love to see some close-up details including your inlay work.

Great work.
Could you explain how you did the inlays. I'm assuming it was done with a router and template guide.

Thanks Tom, Les and helluvawreck! I used a scroll saw to do the inlays, I will post more pics showing how I did it.

Hi Les,

I got multicolored woods and maple planed down to 1/4" thick. I then stacked the colored wood on top of the maple and held it down with duct tape. I drilled small holes through both pieces then used a fine wire blade on my scroll saw to cut out both pieces. Once done, swap the colored pieces with the plane maple pieces. I then laid all of this on top of a 1/4 thick piece of maple with no cutouts and glued it all together in a panel press. I filled the small gaps from the saw blades with died epoxy using a needle and then sanded smooth.

Great. You have far more patience than I do with that detailed cutting. FYI the router and template method works very well and would be easier and faster. you might check it out. Just Google router template guides.
