Tapered Inlay Resources

Instructions

The planning sheet is used to keep track of parts and settings for multi-part tapered bit inlays, like the examples pictured. The other PDF is a compilation of the forum thread referenced below. Get Beau's tapered inlay calculator here: https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/59d27fcc735c740010ba2924/shares/68c407ff2ebb4437a5608f85 Here is the bit I use for tapered inlays: https://www.amazon.com/Carving-flutes-Tapered-tungsten-Carbide/dp/B01EMH3846 This thread has detailed notes on the process I use: https://community.shapertools.com/t/multi-part-tapered-inlay-knowledge-thread/15054 Would love to hear questions and comments in that thread I get my inlay wood from O'Cooch Hardwoods: https://ocoochhardwoods.com/scroll-saw-lumber/ Cutting board blanks are from CiC Workshop: https://cicworkshop.com/products/inlay-builder-kit If you want just the cutting board, specify "none" for the top wood species. Here is a ShaperHub project for a jumbo WS shelf to hold the cutting boards. Bench Pilot can cut anywhere on an 18 by 12 inch cutting board fixtured on thie jumbo shelf. https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/5fb124fb8009d8000f0ca018/shares/68c8a14ea6ca1ff2b4f29c07 Here is a project for a somewhat smaller shelf (hold pieces up to 12 by 8 inches): https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/5fb124fb8009d8000f0ca018/shares/688b756040be7cb19827aacb NOTE: The leg from the Shelf Upgrade Kit is needed for these shelves -- they sag too much without the leg. Nice quality cutting board feet can be purchased here: https://cuttingboardfeet.com/ There is a ShaperHub project re cutting fingerpulls into the cutting boards: https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/5fb124fb8009d8000f0ca018/shares/68b8cdfc48c3a1dab4ad7881 I will be updating this project from time to time with other resources
