OMG, curved inlays!!! 3D VCarve Inlays with Autodesk Fusion 360 - a complete tutorial!

Hey CNC Woodworkers! Curved wood inlays are kind of like the holy grail in woodworking: something that always seems impossible to achieve! Until now....and it is super easy with Autodesk Fusion 360 using a custom plugin I wrote. This is a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to do a 3D curved inlay. I talk about how to CNC machine a complete sphere, AND add a few wood inlays in the process. One side is made to look like an eight ball, and the other side has a highly detailed eagle in face grain wood. Face grain inlays are particularly tricky to get right, let alone doing them on a curved hemisphere surface! So, get your CNC router warmed up, fire up Fusion 360, and start following along to get started making your own inlays.

The plugin is shareware! It has zero limitations, nags or restrictions. Try it out as long as you like, and if you feel like it is worth using buy a $5 license. I spent hundreds of hours developing it to save me 15 minutes of time!
