Wood inlays

Raster the area, cut the shape from veneer or cut two veneers

mirroring the inlay

Laser cut isn't quite perpendicular along z due to focus, i.e. it's smaller on the top of the cut. So, cut the inlay upside down (i.e. mirror it) so the the outermost part has best chance to fit.

focus to bottom of inlay?

Some people say it gives even better fit and finish - I have not tried this. I kind of doubt it makes much difference... Template:TD Possum Lodge
