I'm almost done with a Mission sideboard for my dining room. I made a
sample door panel to practice inlaying and show my wife inlays made of
QSWO (like the door), cherry. and maple, and give her the final
choice. The practice inlays came out GREAT! I sanded the panel,
spray bombed it with shellac & lacquer to get a better finished
effect, let it dry, and brought it to her.

Her: "What are those?"
Me: "Inlays, just like the Stickley sideboard you like"
Her: "I really like the door better without them"

So, I'll have three chamfered panels, and no inlay... G


Funny how that goes, isn't it? Spend a lot of time with a "feature"
added to something and then get the, "I really liked it better plain"
comment. It does save time on the real thing though. [Not that anything
like that has ever happened to me, I've only heard about it ;-) ]
