    Maurice everything you make is amazing. I just sit there completely content watching your videos. Inlay by hand with no C&C machine. Sitting there and hand planing until it fits just right. A true craftsman. I seriously am jealous of your shop. Using a forstner bit with the depth set to remove the center material I wouldn't have thought of that. I would have used a router and lost my fence going to deep into the wood. You're the man!

    +joe brown Hi Joe! Wondered if and when you'd show up ;-) Nice to have you here! Yes, a cnc would have been a nice tool to use in a project like this. But, since I don't have one I have to use what I do have. (my two hands included) Thanks Joe!
