Inlay technique
Inlay technique refers to a method used in various crafts, such as woodworking, metalworking, and jewelry making, where different materials are inserted into a base material to create a decorative pattern or image. This process usually involves cutting out a space in the base material to fit the inlaid piece precisely, which can be made from materials like wood, stone, or metal. The result is a seamless design that enhances the beauty of the object, adding character and complexity. Inlays are commonly seen in fine furniture, flooring, and artistic objects, showcasing skilled craftsmanship.
