I just wanted to get some advice on wood inlay.

I'm trying to give an oak bowl a flame job. It's about 10" in diameter, and 8" tall will a slight curve.

I want to carve out flames on the side of the bowl about half-way through the the thickness of the bowl. Then I want to use Cocobolo Burl to fill in the flames.

I problem is, how can I cut out the flames from the cocobolo and get the proper curves both up, down and side to side?

I thought about just duplicating the oak bowl in another cocobolo burl and just hacking the flames out of the cocobolo bowl. But that just seems like a waste. Any suggestions?
