beautiful if thats not perfect i dont know what is
-
That's really striking.
Which of those woods makes the rose? I have a tulip tree in my back yard. If that's the tree tulipwood comes from (and I am guessing the rose is the tulipwood), it might be in danger!

Becky, I did make the Rose using (Brazilian) Tulipwood, but I think the tree you have is a different species.
I wish it was I'd plant a few of them. The Brazilian type is very dense; Like most exotics It's hard on the scroll saw blades and it takes more effort to shape it.
From Wikipedia:
In the United States, it is commonly known as tulip poplar or yellow poplar, even though the tree is not related to the poplars. The wood is very light, around 490kg per cubic meter, but very strong and is used in many applications, including furniture, joinery and moldings. It can also be stained very easily and is often used as a low-cost alternative to walnut and cherry in furniture and doors.
Brazilian Tulipwood is a different species. A classic high-quality wood, it is very dense with a lovely figure. It is used for inlays in furniture and for small turned items. Available only in small sizes, it is rarely used in the solid for luxury furniture. Like other woods with a pronounced figure it is rather strongly subject to fashion.

Stunning as always.

Beautiful as always.

great work.

My tree thanks you for that info, Al! And I admit I like the shade in the summertime too.
That tulipwood is neat-looking though. I don't think I have see that before.
-
Hey Al, As always, a wonderful project! Tulipwood is related to rosewood and has a very sweet smell! Some folks have an allergic reaction to it. It is a good idea to wear a respirator when cutting it.
-
You never cease to amaze me. Again, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for all the nice compliments, I appreciate them.

Beautiful....Al I'm going to try my first intarsia piece as soon as Christmas is over. It is a Sceaming Eagle. I purchased the pattern from Wildwood Designs. I've had it for a few months now. I don't know if I scared to try it, or what. If you don't mind. Could I contact you if I run into any problem? Thanks Dave 8)

Sure Dave, feel free to contact me any time. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
That goes for anyone else also.
