This is a Christmas present for my Dad. I have several more to do, but they won't be quite this complicated!

The pattern is from Mike Henderson. Thanks Mike!

very nicely done,, could you give some basic steps on how you done the oval recess and then fitted your inlay to it??? when you get caught up of course:)

Hey Larry,

I used an inlay router bit set like this.

It worked great, but I had some problems with the banding around the oval. It was supposed to be one piece of stringing, but I didn't have everything lined up perfectly and ended up making the groove much wider than intended. That's why the banding is so wide.
