PlaneandSimple writes: I find that as my skill progress and as I am able to move on to more complex projects, I am really deficient in the art of inlay. I would really like to learn; this book would be a great help!

Taigert writes: More and more of the work I have been doing as of late could be made better, not really better but just that added touch more with inlay. Where I live now it's hard to take the classes I would like to take, just due to the traveling. So a lot of my learning has become self taught through the great books available on this web site. Last week I was at a Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Cincinnati and ended up buying 5 more books on wood working, just because I knew it would be a while before the next chance would present itself.
A free book that I dont have would be great. Moneys tight with the way the economy is right now. So anyway to save money is very welcomed.
Hope to hear it is on it's way on June 8th!!

maple&wallnut man writes: Veneering and Inlay is a totally set apart art to master and I always admired the ones that know how to do it.
This book is an excellent way to demystify it. I guess...
So I would like to win it.
