I'm in the process of making some decorative inlay for a box..... but, I would imagine this could be put on anything if one so desired....

 

I used three pieces of 1/4" thick bloodwood, and two pieces each of 1/16" thick maple and wenge to make the 1" thick laminate....once dried and cleaned up, I sliced off from the edge several strips about 5/32" thick.... you can cut as thick as you like, just make your jig and dado work with that dimension...  then cut a 30 degree slice off the end of each strip using your miter gauge.

 

I cobbled together a jig to cut 4 triangles at one time....  flipping the strips after each pass.....

 

Once you have enough triangles.... have some fun!
