Title: Stack cut Intarsia
Post by: Jim Finn on December 12, 2011, 11:22:20 pm
I stack cut the "Last Supper" three deep 3/8" each.  Used Purple heart, basswood, Mahogany, and walnut.  Virgin Mary is made with Peach wood , basswood and Mesquite.

Very nice Jim, You did a great job shaping Mary and I like your choice of woods.

The last supper is kinda small to see any detail. How large is the actual Intarsia? I remember Chuck Norris had something similar a few years ago.

..........Mary is 10" tall and the last supper is 40" long. Thanks for the kind words. The faces in the last supper are also carved into the basswood. (Hard to see in the photo) If you open the image in "Paint" you can inlarge it to see it a little better.
