One of the classic wood inlay banding patterns is the Barber Pole pattern. The core of the banding package has a component of alternating wood tones that is cut on a 45 degree angle and is sandwiched by the top and bottom outer layers. The banding pattern has a similarity to the fixture or sign that may be seen at the entrance of a barber’s shop.

Vicenzo, an avid viewer from Palermo, Italy inquired about how to make Barber Pole banding after the posting of Creating your own Wood Inlay Bandings…The Secrets Revealed. At the time my friend Vicenzo requested a video of the techniques used to make wooden inlays of this banding pattern. So, here it is. Enjoy the wood craft of making decorative wood inlay bandings!
Also, many thanks to the many other Italian woodworkers who are following and enjoying the wood inlay veneer tutorials. Grazie a voi i miei amici italiani. Ecco il rinascimento prossimo.
