I'm not willing to part with mine. But I'm not just posting to rub it in 
. We had a discussion on inlay tools at our summer (2023) Chesapeake Chapter meeting at Olde Mill Cabinet Shoppe, where Steve Latta has taught a bunch of classes. Bess Naylor pulled out her original user-made set of Inlay tools that Steve taught the class to make back before LN started to produce his design...it was neat to see these, as they were effectively original prototypes prior to the LN product. At any rate, several folks in the meeting mentioned that they prefer the newer Lee Valley inlay tools. Because I haven't been in the market for inlay tools since I bought the LN set, I wasn't even aware the Lee Valley had brought theirs to market. From their website it looks quite a bit different from the LN/Steve Latta design. But if you're having trouble finding a LN set, then you might consider the LV set (and some would argue it's a better first choice).
