Other Fancy Inlay Items

There has been a lot of talk about inlaying musical instruments on this web site. However, my inlay work is not limited to musical instruments. If it is made of wood, or can be made of wood, most likely I can inlay something cool on it. Many things can be inlaid like gun stocks, tables, chairs, key chains, pictures, picture frames, music boxes, jewelry boxes, etc.

	This picture frame was done by my son Alex for his girlfriend Nicole's birthday. The two faces were modeled after them and a heart vine placed around it.

One of the great perks about being in this business, is being able to make special presents.
