Quite a few months back, I asked about a good source book for producing inlay bandings for Federal-style furniture, and it is evident that few books cover the subject in any depth. There was one out of print book that several recommended (with mixed feelings about the success of the book at its subject) called Inlay Banding and Design Book. It was published by LVI Publications. Well, surprisingly enough, LVI Publications has now produced a 3rd edition of this book, and it was just released for sale this week.  But, welcome to the digital age, it is only available on CD-ROM. You can purchase the CD book at the following link: http://www.lvipublications.com/inlay-banding-book.htm

Again, I've heard mixed feelings about the book, but I ordered a copy which should arrive in a few days, time-depending, I'll post again with my thoughts about this edition. Has anyone else ordered it yet?  Or, once again, any other sources that you recommend?
 
My understanding Steve Latta will soon have a DVD coming out on inlay stringings/banding.

I just purchased Steve Latta's DVD on making ornimental inlays and banding.  Pretty good all round.  I bought it to help in teaching my son-in-law and he's found it very helpful.
