Not terribly happy with how the inlay came out. Thinking about scrapping the piece for the gift idea, but using it for a personal project🤔
@CJLavoie right now the contrast is minimal, which as you said will pop with finish. The groove i plowed tore out a little on the surface fibers leading to a gap that I can't plane below🙈. Since it's a focal point, it'll stick out too much in the finished product I believe
I have ways to fix or prevent or again, but this one is a learning experience😂
@TheCuriousWoodworker Maybe it just needs some contrast, which should be enhanced with a little oil or stain? since each type of wood will respond differently to it?
