When designing a pair of federal side tables, Bob Van Dyke wanted to be able to see into the future before he committed to an inlay pattern. Bob has just about every tool you can imagine in his school, but unfortunately a time machine isn’t one of them. He does have a pair of mirrors that makes the great unknown a little more … well … known. Many woodworkers use mirrors to help them lay out veneers; Bob just added a grab bag of federal inlay goodies to the mix. With his kit, he’s able to add sand-shaded flowers, shells, and curved inlays, and he mixes and matches them to see exactly what blend of elements is perfect for his projects. So next time you’re making a shell or floret to inlay, make an extra and start assembling a kit of your own.  See more on FineWoodworking.com: Federal-Style Stringing and Banding - Embellish a Federal card table in the traditional style One Routing Template For a Perfect Fielded Panel - One routing template is all you need to make this fielded panel with veneer and stringing Master Class: The Inlaid Fan - A common motif in Federal furniture, the inlaid shaded fan is not difficult to make.
