6 inch Goldfinch
« on: November 23, 2017, 02:00:47 pm »
Hi,
Here's probably one of my smallest Intarsia's so far, Its a Goldfinch and measures 6" tall approx 60 pieces :shock:  I am doing a Male Bullfinch the same size for the customer. (not a Christmas present so ok to post online)
Although tiny I tried to get plenty of detail in my pattern and used Oak, Beech plus Red,White,Yellow,Black Corian  cutting the tiny Corian bits was a chore but worked out fine in the end
Should have the Bullfinch done by Monday.
Hope ya like it
Brian
ps tried another idea out cutting the small pieces this time and used my glue gun to stick a larger piece of wood onto the top of the pattern so i had something chunkier to hold and it seemed to work ok, I usually use my Molegrips but the corian is quite brittle when cutting 2mm wide strips and the grips cracked it :oops:  still got there in the end  :)
