inlay work

Inlay work is a decorative technique used in art and craft where materials like wood, metal, stone, or glass are set into a surface to create patterns or images. This involves cutting out a shape in the base material and filling it with a contrasting material, resulting in a beautiful design. Inlays can be found in various items such as furniture, jewelry, and flooring. This technique not only enhances aesthetics but also showcases craftsmanship, skill, and creativity, making objects visually appealing and often more valuable.
