Horse Head
« on: March 13, 2012, 06:27:08 pm »
I found an image of a horse head on line and made this intarsia image of it.  It is made of Oak, Pine, Mahogany, Mesquite and Ebony and is 21" tall  I used 1/4" ply for backer board and made a hanger for it of old band saw blade.  The woods are all 3/8" thick.  I used a spray can from Walmart "triple Thick Glaze" as a finish.

That is super. You used 3/8 wood. I use 3/4, do you plane the wood or can you buy 3/8? ;)

I re-saw 1" wood to 3/8" and plane or sand to smooth finish.  In fact some  rough woods come in 1 1/8" thickness, or more, and I re-saw  it to suit the project.

The brown on the right side of the head looks like a dogs head.
