Title: First Intarsia
Post by: beginner on February 06, 2011, 11:57:30 am: This is my first try. It is a copy of my wifes dog. I need a lot more practice to be half as good as some of the finnished work that has been posted here.

Also, If it's you wifes dog, Isn't your dog too?

@DG Nope the wifes dog is the wifes dog Just like my wife she has her dog a inside dog and I have mine an outside dog (He is the Guard dog) so the wifes dog is the wifes dog and his dog is his dog lol It just works that way for some reason.

Post by: cdrover(Clyde) on April 08, 2011, 01:45:24 pm: Very nice job on the first piece, it does get easier. I find the challenge in what to raise and what to lower, which colors to use but that is the art of intarsia. No matter what, all pieces are beautuful because no two are alike, everything is unique. You just add your own touch to each creation. Keep up the good work ;)

I have seen some of the work shown around town, but I don't really understand how it is done with a scroll saw. It looks more like router work to me...I guess I will have to read up on it.BT, that is a pretty good attempt for the first time...I would be bragging!!!
