Here is a Wood In Wood Inlay in a Island Top I made from Mackore an Sycamore. The client wanted a Inlay of one of my Eagles, an I was just making one for another project.
Good client so moved it to the Island Top
First made sure top is nice an flat an mark out the area for the inlay I used a pencil an exco blade to do the outline
Next I set the depth an started removing a lot of the material with a router an down spiral bit 1/4 inch so little chip out
it took 2 days of removing material an using chisels to for the sharp edges
Keep your area clean an getting ready to fit up most of the inlay
Here is the first fit-up
As you can see there is no eyes an face of fish but its coming
Next sand down to level an started the face of the fish an did the eyes also Used Mother of Pearl for all eyes
I put one coat of poly on to pop the grain
All done ready to go to clients home to be mounted on cabinets, took 6 coats of poly to get this right an had to hand buff it with wax
Each way you see this an taking pictures it changes as if it wants out
