Inlay – fourth try

When I V-carved the zebra a while ago, I always intended it to be an inlay test. Now that I am confident enough, I finally took the plunge.

However, looking at the intricate detail and very tiny parts, I never really thought this was a good design for this purpose. But hey I figured I will never know if I don’t try.

Contrary to my expectations, the result looks astonishingly good! Again, no wood putty used. One ear got torn out during planing though, so i’ll fill that up, along with some really tiny holes here and there.

I think I can safely say I have the process down now.
