This section has been slow lately so I thought I'd post another Intarsia that I've made.

That is really beautiful!  What did you use to color the wood?  Awesome work!

There's a place in Solvang, CA.called "The Historical Research Center" and I had them do a search for our family name. This is the Crest they came up with and I made the pattern from it.

I used Cedar, Poplar, Aspen, and Purple Heart woods and painted the Blue and Yellow with acrylic paints.

Hey 92, I know Solvang very well! My wife and I have visited many times and my work takes me there often. I've learned to stay away from those Danish bakery's! ::)

We try to stop there on our way to Morro Bay and Cayucos at least once a year. 

Love the Danish Bakeries!!

That is a great job!  Love the crest they came up with.  Wonder if there is one for my Swedish roots?  Probably an oak tree.

Most important part first: love those pasteries; second, that is truly nicely done - thanks for sharing.
