thanks Mike, yes this one did turn out nice, although if i was to do it again i would use more contrasting species of timber, when using the inlay method on the scroll saw theres a fine line between getting a good fit and getting it too tight that it splits you base layer, once you have the angle just right it can be very rewarding.
ive done another piece like this but more of a picture base turning its called fishing vase, it is one of my largest segmented pieces using the inlay method, don't know if you seen it yet, i posted it on the gallery.
i look forward to seeing your future inlay turnings, it might inspire me on as ive been a bit none productive of late
