I have only done simple designs but they have worked out ok. The following link shows the method I used for Marquetry (onlays).

: I have been considering trying to do some wood artwork on my S&G tandem

: done this type of work. I hear that doing a onlay technique can provide
: almost as nice a result as doing an inlay. Also, has anyone had experience
: with using stains early in the build process?
