jjleip11 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I was wondernig if anyone could help me with a question. I am relatively new to the inlay game, but seem to be getting along pretty well with it. I know most people choose darker woods like rosewood or ebony to inlay into. However, I was wondering how successful inlaying into a lighter wood, like maple, would be. How easy is it to finish this wood (either staining or painting) with the inlay work involved? Is the finishing done before or after starting the inlay? Any help is appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 You can inlay on any wood you want but the Darker woods are easier to fill and hide tearout or mistakes. Lighter woods such as Maple are hard to get a filler that matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
