When a Male has had enough, Intarsia
« on: January 08, 2012, 11:27:07 pm »
The posting ?When a male has had enough? by Keefie, December 29, 2011, is just too cute to not do something with, so seeing as no one
has taken GrayBeard?s suggestion for making a pattern, I decided to make an Intarsia from it.  I didn?t make a pattern; I worked directly from the picture.

I still need to spray the whole thing with Deft Lacquer, after I decide whether to stain the frame or leave it natural. I?m open for suggestions.

I?ll post the final when finished.

That is adorable!  I vote that you leave the frame natural.  The whole thing looks perfect as it is.
