Star in...

Star inlays are hard enough when the stars are even. It is doubly hard when they are not even and the sides are not square. This was a learning experience and made me realize that a laser cutter or cnc machine would be a serious upgrade to exacto knives and dremel bits.

I spent a few hours working on an inlay for my padauk neck after finishing up the stars and learned some more valuable lessons about not using zero clearance inserts for my scroll saw, cutting against the grain, and drilling with dull forstner bits. But that is a story for another day.
