Here are some pictures of the process of making the center inlay for the Tree Core Bed.
I used an elliptical jig for the router to create the recesses for the inlay
This is the fir beam used to get the veneers that are inlayed in the center of the bed
These are the fir veneers from the beam
Here the veneers are bookmatched and held together with tape
The end grain fir veneers are finished being shaped and are ready to inlay!
A hydraulic jack is used to clamp the veneers during the glue up.
The finished product!
