Title: Sunset Valley Intarsia
Post by: wdkits1 on July 13, 2010, 10:10:05 am

This is called "Sunset Valley" I did this piece in 1994 and wanted to use as many different woods as I had available at the time. It is in a 24" x 36" cherry frame and has 520 pieces from 33 different woods.

Thanks all for the comments.
To sp343-- when I did this piece in 1994 all I had was an old Craftman  single speed saw  and a cheap table top bandsaw.It took about 150 hours .

Great work.  It is just like you could step into the picture and be there.  How many saws later is this now from that single speed in 1994?  :)

Thanks EclipseScroller
 I upgraded in 1996 to a Craftsman VS saw which I still use and is still going strong .Just goes to show that you can make chicken salad out of chicken s**t.  LOL
