Fancy cuts: Laser saws revive the ancient craft of inlaid flooring

Article Abstract:

Fancy cuts are again becoming popular and their popularity could be attributed to the development of a laser saw, which is one of the most sophisticated wood cutting tools. The AutoCAD design software helps in translating the designer's sketch and converting it into a custom pattern, but at the same time the classic patterns and motifs that are featured in a manufacture's catalog can be used while planning an inlaid wood floor and options like water-based finishes that are nontoxic and fast drying can be selected.
