ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a method for making intricate inlay designs in wood and other materials. The novel method of this invention uses a laser to selectively form patterns in two pieces of material by vaporizing unwanted portions thereof. One piece of material has the negative pattern of the other piece of material. Unlike previous methods of making inlays, these patterns do not penetrate completely the thickness of the pieces. A suitable adhesive is then applied to the pieces of material. The two pieces of material are then mated together so that the vaporized area of one piece mates with the raised (non-vaporized) area of the other piece. When the adhesive has set, one surface is sanded or planed until the thickness of the joined pieces is reduced to include the area where the two pieces have been mated. This area will be an intricate inlay which will be composed of both pieces.
