Default Butterfly Inlay Box
Hi everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

This is the latest project I completed which is designed by Sue Mey. The project is found in CWWC on pages 10 - 13. The box is made of basswood and the inlay butterfly is walnut. The basswood is so soft, I used a sanding sealer. It worked, but turned the wood orange. The finish is clear gloss polyurethane. Comments welcome.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the comment. I wanted a white, easy, inexpensive wood. Even at 2" thick, it was very easy to work. Only problem, too soft.

Very nice inlay, Denny. You might give Aspen a try for light color and easy workability. It is not as soft as Basswood. Is inexpensive, too. I use it a lot.
