Wood Inlay Bandings…Making a Statement

wood inlay bandings and picture frames

The picture frames are of African mahogany with walnut splines to accent the miter joints. As you can see wood inlay bandings can make quite a statement when applied in your woodworking project. On one hand the wooden picture frames would be plenty nice on their own, however the wood design created by the pattern within the wood inlay bandings provides an eye catching contrast. The ornamental qualities of the decorative wood inlay bandings seem to persuade one to come closer to take a better look. Perhaps this is the very reason why inlay has been used by various cultures over the millenniums to adorn and embellish anything from the neck and body of a fine guitar to the tombs of Pharaohs from ancient Egypt.
