Inlay is a great way to adorn your woodworking projects. Even the simplest item can become incredibly compelling if it features a well-executed inlay. With the right materials and techniques, its just like painting with wood. Only non-artistic folks like myself can actually do it!

Good video Mark and good job on that inlay. Don't worry about the negative comments. You are doing fine. I’m a 4th generation carpenter and I’ve been doing extremely elaborate inlays for guitars, jewelry boxes and high end furniture for the best part of 40 years. If I had listened to half the criticism I received early on I would have a different skill set today. “Why was I looking at your video?” Because it doesn’t matter how good you think you are, there is always someone out there doing something new or different that you can always learn something from.
Exactly, Wil. I have the better part of 41 years as an auto mechanic and was a master tech for 15 of them. I still learn things from the younger guys that come up with a tip or 2, and I have been able to give a few tips to the younger guys who never saw a distributor or carburetor let alone a set of points or how to set them on a car. (There are some vintage and antique cars that still run these original parts, and these young guys have no idea what to do with these relics. lol)
At the same time, even though I am familiar with automotive computers and used to specialize in them, they've recently underwent a lot of changes where multiple computers interconnect on a bus network, and if one goes awry, it can create a nasty "argument" between all of the modules, and it can be difficult to sort out.
This was an incredibly good video. Unlike most tutorials on youtube, books, the internet, or wherever, this one had lots of detail. The result was beautiful, too.
Hello this is Robert Ray from Wood Inspirations and Design. I can't begin to tell you how valuable this video has been to me. I have spent so many wasted hours on trying to get tight fits between pieces and finally did but it took a long time. The info about over lapping is such a great technique;I thank you so much. I appreciate you taking your time to make and post these videos. It is selfless people like you,spreading the knowledge,that really make woodworking so enjoyable. You are a good person and my family and I have such a great amount of respect for you. Thank you again.
UA-cam videos like this one are an inspiration to wood workers everywhere. I really can't understate the impact educational videos like this have had and will have for the decades to come.
that sandshading process does give it an incredible look thanks for sharing !
i`m in the 70`s so my fingers don1t move very good anymore but this is fascinating i`ve always wondered how it was done when i was younger didn`t have the time to learn stuff like this busy working love your work thanks & have fun
Hey MARC, I watch every video you put out. I can't get enough watching the leaf inlay video. Your AWESOME. I want to try this soon. Thanks for sharing.
This was a very well done and informative video. Coming up on 9 years after it was published and still helping people improve! Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
I am going to watch every single one of your videos, you are the best step by step instructor, this helps a lot, those those quick speedups videos, are truly not teaching, you showed me how to do it, you taught me, thank you for being a great teacher.
You are a natural teacher.....thank you.
Really well made video. Love the absence of ego and intimidation, just pure open knowledge. Well done.
As a landscape photographer, I totally get the Zen moment. Good to see others acknowledging it and talking about it!
I just read the comment fro Wil Seda and am astonished that anyone would criticize this video (he did not criticize but mentioned others had done so). You are either the most eloquent person on UA-cam or spent a lot of time preparing the audio. Either way, thank you. Great video!
This is a fantastic video. You hit a great balance of simplicity and attention to detail. I really appreciate seeing instructors use common tools to do amazing work using practical methods. Thank you.
Thanks Marc, that was terrific. Going to attempt it myself on a small Cherry bookcase project. Aside from the inlay instruction, the video production was terrific. Your comments on getting into the Zen zone are right on. Concentrating on a single precise task can be very relaxing.
This is very helpfull. Your tutorial is much better and able to deliver much better results then the other tutorials i've seen so far. Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
thanks for sucking me in and making me watch the entire thing, it was great. I dont even plan on doing inlays for a long time, but it was great to watch
Great video. Thanks so much for posting. Your love for your work is obvious.
you can always tell people who do wood work because they love it and people who do it because they couldn't find a better job. i know the zen thing very well but i thought i was the only one haha.... good to know someone else gets into this stuff as deep as me.
Beautiful work! Anyone who has done detailed inlays can appreciate how well you went about this. For all those viewing, inlaying is a "zen" process, in that it requires skill and patience. I have done far too many "sloppy" inlays when trying to get the job done. Thanks for sharing your art.
flaws isn't flaws it's artistic touch. that is what make it unique.
This is the first woodworking video I have seen from start to finish, very nice. Thanks.
Thank you very much. This video has totaly help me understand the inlay proccess my teacher keeps talking bout.
wonderful tutorial, i love how you think outloud so we understand your mindset
Just beautiful! Who hits the dislike button on something like this??
I know I’m 11 years or more late but, this looks incredible. So glad I started following you. Thx for taking the time to show this artwork.
I just watched a 43 minute video on inlaying. Worth it.
I am pretty sure that i have said this before but you are a master. I know that you would say that your not. You have simplified so much for all of us. I have always wanted to try inlay but was terrified, you make it so clear. PBS should give you your own show. Keep up the amazing work and keep the videos coming.
Dude, thank you so much. At first I thought that I don't want to know the things Nicole thought :)
But during the course of the video I noticed how much time you invested to give your know how to the community. That was by far the best woodworking video I've seen. Looking forward to watch your other videos and I'll definitely apply your techniques
I had no idea I'd spend 43 mins of my Saturday night watching this, but I'm inspired to come up with a project to try this with now! Awesome!! and thanks!
Excellent workmanship and step by step instructions! Thanks!
Step by step instructions are always nice in videos!
@@SecretStashBrosBuilds Exactly!
I have been a carpenter builder for 30 years...I don't know how you could ever make money doing inlay...But, I guess we're not really in it for the money, it's about a love of working with wood...Thanks for the tips and I saved this to my learning videos just incase...: ) You should be proud, your work is beautiful.
when that mineral oil hit that inlay WOW! That looked stunning. With that added wood colouring with the sand, that was a real nice touch. Like you said it just gives it a much more greater interest and actually draws you to the piece of furniture to admire, well done.
'Im not that great of an artist' You are a genius artist!
That is one of the most beautiful inlay jobs I have ever seen. Great job!
Thanks for the very thorough walk through.
Great compliment with the "sand shading". Definitely a new tool
You are a natural instructor, you explain how to do and also why to do it that way. Thanks so much. I am a girl and I'm making my first solid maple butcher block style countertop with a rectangle insert of end grain maple and yew border to go in my boat (which I'm also building)So far it looks great! When I'm ready I'm going to try some inlay projects for my chart table!
Muy bueno. Excelente incrustación.
What a fabulous video - thanks Marc. It's now 8 years old, but I've just learned a heap of new tricks for doing inlays. Thank you. :)
That is definitely something to consider when laying out an image. The inlay on this piece was a bit of an afterthought so if you know you're going to adorn something with inlay, its a really good idea to make sure the background complements the image.
Beautiful work Mark! Looks like patience is the key with inlays!
I know it’s been almost 11 years since you posted this video, but I just happened upon it. This was very educational for me and I believe I may have to try this! Thank you for the instruction! Beautiful work sir!!
Totally blown my mind. Looks awesome
That really demystifies it for me. That is GREAT.
I've always admired inlay work but thought it way beyond my skills. You've just brought onto my radar as something I just might be able to do. Thanks a million mate :-)
Best explanation and instructional video I've seen in a long while!
I want to say I watched the video again and realized the overlapping pieces are cut away on each successive piece so I get it now. Very cool and I hope to try this soon. Thanks for the great video!
Excellent video with great step by step details.
That was terrific. You are a great communicator!
My sincere hats off to you for having that much patience and (you must have a superb eye too!) to do this, using a router, which (speaking for my self only) I find
IT, just too bulky, "too much in the way" for such a small pieces (I tried it long, long time ago).
I prefer Dremel tool but that's neither here nor there. Your video is interesting and I enjoyed watching it.
As silly as it may sounds, thanks to people like you, I am rediscovering my router tool and bench, anew, after being packed away for nearly 10 years.
Thank you for your wisdom and your time to share it.
Thank you so much! I've always wanted to do inlays and now I have the confidence and the know how to try it.
Thanks so much for the video, I think I've learnt more than I could have possibly from any book. Really appreciate this video!
I've never built furniture before but the instruction you provided on what seems to be a fairly complicated piece (to me at least) makes me confident that I could pull it off. I'm subscribing for sure! Thanks a bunch.
Beautiful leaves!!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to follow tutorial and packed full of information. Thank you!
you have some amazing tools there ive made 3 bits of furniture at college and now i have a furniture lv 3 qualification when i have been making this furniture i have always found your vids have helped me so much and taught me how other people do these bits of wood work and also suggested these vids to mates at college thanks for all your help and thanks for all the great vids ps your inlays are amazing
Wow, how beautifully explained and demonstrated. In retirement, I was looking for a new hobby. I will definitely keep a link to this video and use it in the future. Thank you so much for making this video.
Beautiful technique, thanks for sharing!
Brilliant explanation of something I’ve always fancied doing but never knew the sequence. I now have so many ideas for this work. Can’t wait to get started. Thank you. Keep Whispering.
I've been wondering how to do inlay for the longest time. perfectly clear now. thanks!
I’ve watched this video a hundred times and learn something new every time. I’m still to chicken to try it!
Great video!! I've been interested in trying something like this and finally I found a video that clearly illustrates what required. I'm confident that I can pull this off after watching the video. Thank you
this is one of the most professionally made videos I've seen on UA-cam. Very articulate and flows smoothly. Thanks for posting this. I will look for other vids you've made
Holy Cow that looks tedious but the effort looks like it is sooooo worth it. Thanks for sharing this technique.I learned a lot
great job,not just the technical but presentation..
What I meant was his application of the word was odd. I didn't trace a flower on my monitor to buck a social norm. I did it because it was faster, easier and more efficient than using a printer and it happens to save a piece of paper and ink to boot. I guess I don't consider this activity to have anything to do with social norms, music, fashion, politics, attitude, or anything else typically associated with hipsters.
This is a great tutorial. You explain everything in fine detail and show every step of the process... Thank you
Amazing work! The filming was the best i’ve seen! Thanks!
Was thinking of buying a router and was looking for some techniques on here, would just like to thank you for inspiring me, i'm off down the shop now :)
great video, great host, i love when you put the first piece in it looks weird, then 2, then 3, then the whole project start to come together and starts to look class, i have to admit your good at what you do! keep up the good work!
Beautiful! I appreciate your clear instructions. Thank you!
That intro, 'Inlay baby, Inlay,' earned you a sub
Marc, Thanks for the video. I've been building furniture, woodturning, etc. for 30 years and I have done a lot of straight line inlays, and template based but only a couple of freehand router attempts. I had a project that was begging for some detail so I thought I'd go inlay. I closely copied your design as it was the perfect shape and I could size it to fit the top. I am very happy with the results and it looks great. I used Tulipwood and Rosewood. Your process is straight forward and very easy to get great results the first try. Thanks again.
AWESOME!! Greatly appreciate how you went step by step on this. I look at alot of youtube videos on wood working and far this ones the best , Keep it up!!!
Excellent video, very clear information and instructions. Thanks.
I love the idea of the sand heat to finish the dry char on the piece
this is so satisfying to watch. I just got my first router the other day and I'm still a few years away from trying something like this but I have saved this video and I will definitely give this a go when I'm a little more comfortable with the router :)
So great!!! Thank you for showing this technique!
Good job there Woody.
Loved this demonstration, simple technique, minimal tool use (compared to other videos).. Thanks for this.. Given me afew Ideas :)
This video could have gone on for days, I love this stuff.
Your Rob Ross shirt is awesome!
Thanks! Just finished my first leaf inlay. Looks great!
The tip on sanding while the glue is wet is a smart one.
love the sand thing... I did this with a flame but love the look you get with sand
Beautiful job. Inlay is very intimidating even for most. Your suggestions on doing it one part at a time is the correct process. Thank you for sharing. I hope many others follow your suggestions. Many blessings to you and your Channel.
Wonderful, you did such a great job. I love the look after the sand drying. Thank you for such a great video
Very nice work! I liked your reasoning about using the larger router... made sense, and then adding the stability of putting your hands down on the router plate... pure genius! Thank you very much!
Another note about the lighter router he had. When I use mine, the small one he showed at the beginning, I don't try to hog it all out in one pass but the down side of that is several passes means several chances to screw up. But the less you bite into the wood the less it tries to throw the router around. The Dremel router bits get much smaller in diameter which cuts down the knife work on the sharp edges as well.
wow, amazing videos...just really easy to follow along and you answer all of the "stupid" questions i have in your vids...
Good job. You are not only a good woodworker you are also a good teacher. Great video.
Great work. I saw this some time ago, but refreshed my memory once again and it seems even better the second time around. Well done. I really must try something like that on my boxes.
Love this vid! Thanks for being so thorough in your explanation and taking us from a to z. Patience really paid off here. That singed zebra wood looks gorgeous. So artistic. I'm definitely going to try that. Thanks.
That inlay is beautiful. Thank you for the tips.I have to give this a try .Practice on something a couple of times before I actually do it a project.Thanks for a great vedio.
Your craftsmanship is stunning. Well done.
@TheWoodWhisperer. True. After watch your inlay video I now have another technique to try out. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work!
Excellent. Very instructional and at the same time entertaining. Thanks.
This is an awesome video. Never knew how this is done, and definitely have a new appreciation for inaly, and those who can do it! Also... love the Bob Ross t-shirt!!!
Thank you thank you your video on inlaying the way you shared the process was what I have bin looking for THANK YOU SIR
That looks great! Really happy I found this channel!
Wonderful!
