wood inlays


Recommended Posts

Just finished making some "additional" interior wood pieces for my '41 international that did not originally come with the wagon. It did not originally have ash arches over the interior wheel wells (as it does for the exterior) and did not have horizontal ash pieces midway up the mahogany plywood, as it did for the exterior. I'm more of a "resto-mod" guy and really don't give a rip about what was "original", as I'm more interested in what I think looks good. 

 

That being said, I was thinking about doing some mahogany wood inlays on the interior ash wheel cover arches to make a mahogany stripe over the top of the ash arch. Additionally, a "baseboard" strip on the floor adjacent to the mahogany plywood, 2 inch wide and 1 inch tall ash with a mahogany 3/4 inch strip on the top center of the baseboard. 

 

Any thoughts?Anyone done any inlays with a darker wood on interior ash or maple frame pieces for their car? I think it would look cool, but perhaps I have just gone "router crazy" and should just stick with the ash pieces and call it a day.
