I finally tried some intarsia, but I have to give credit to my grandma for the turtle idea. While she may not have thought about it, a turtle was perfect for my first try. The shell could be cut all out of one piece of wood which meant that I didn't have to worry about getting them to all fit back together. I designed the pattern myself, the shell is made out of walnut and the legs, head, and tail were cut out of maple that I recycled from a broken chair. For my first time doing intarsia, I think it turned out ok. I might have rounded the shell pieces a little less if I did it again.
This was also a good idea because I have a turtle (little yellow-bellied slider named reggie) and this piece is now on the wall above his tank.

Not bad at all Matt. That came out pretty good. Thanks for sharing this one with us.

Well done, Matthew,
I like the fact that, even though cut as a segmentation for the shell, the wood grain
does not look like it runs all the same direction.
Congratulations on your first intarsia!
God Bless! Spirithorse
