Thread: Maple leaf inlay on workbench top. - Family Woodworking

Some of you will remember that i have posted somewhere that i wanted to inlay some bling on my workbench.

Well this has been on the to do list for some time and so i finallly got er done.

Here is how it came out after try number 2.

Used all sorts of tools to get it this close. Its not perfect, but will do for bench bling.

The wood is bloodwood and i made the inlay around 4 millimeters thick.

After glueing it in i decided to clean up my benchtop to flatten the whole lot together again,. what with working on all sorts on that bench it needed a clean up.

Then i finally got another thing done and tried it out. I been meaning to finish off adding my deadman, only two pieces of wood to add but its taken me years to get er done.

Sure makes a difference, i can see now where a leg vise can play a role and good place for hold down storage.

Never got a shot of it but also secured the wooden cross bars for the bottom shelf. They have been lying loose for a few years while i decided if they were going to stay or not. Guess the decision was made.

So my bench is finally finished at least for now.
