This is a sample of the type of frames I've been making for the Farmers Market. Walnut base with dual Ash inlays. Once I beef up my router bit collection (still waiting on the forum glossary bits to see what I end up with) I plan on making a wider variety of frame profiles.
Inlays are cut with either a router or dado stack on the tablesaw, basically based on what is currently set up at the time. Inlay splines are cut on the tablesaw with a spline cutting jig. I have some frames up to 40X44 in size, cutting splines for those was a bit out of hand with the jig I had so they were spliced into the slots with mitered cuts. Barely noticable if you don't know where to look for the splices.
