But if by some chance you actually want to learn how to do it yourself don't waste your time or your dollar. I bought this book to learn how to do inlay. The subtitle for this book "Design and Technique for Fine Woodworking" is misleading. I recommend, "The Art of Wood Inlay" by George Stevens if you are looking for useful how too information. Don't get me wrong if you want to look at great inlay work this book is for you.

Easy read, plenty of ideas, Understable and descriptive. Explains the art clearly from tools to materials and ways to produce art for final work.You will finish with a good understanding.

Anyone can figure that much out. This is undoubtedly an inspirational book. However, it lacks much detail for the studnet, interested in learning wood inlay. If you want a complete book for inlaying, look elsewhere; if you're interested in the work of Larry Robinson, then look no farther. It doesn't move beyond the basics of cutting inlays and so farth.

I didn't have any formal background or knowledge of inlay. I recommend this book for the beginner. This book went through the fundamentals and gave good insight on what to start with and little tricks of the trade.

The book also cover how to cut pearl (and also other materials) and inlay by your own, showing tools of the trade and sources of drawings and information. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for exquisite inlays in wood. The pictures worth it, trust me. Delight it. Good shoots of very nice work, of different styles.
