I think your work so far is brilliant, it will be a fantastic piece when it's finished.And to be honest I wouldn't have a clue where to start doing anything like that.

Very nice piece.  You know, I have been scrolling for nearly 30 years and have never tired Intarsia.  Found a book and
VCR tape my wife bought for me years ago...maybe it's time to give this a try.  After all the Band saw boxes I have been making, I have the sanding skills down pretty good.   VCR tape...tells you how long I have had the book laying around!!

I have made many since this piece. I think the process is naturally a little intimidating. But Just dive in and have a go at it. The first one may not be perfect but you will like it. The second will be better and You will like it even more and so on and so on.

I say, just jump in and do one. Im still working my way through my first one, but every step is so much fun. Even if it isnt perfect it is still good. Seeing the picture come together one part at a time...so much fun. This cat he did is great!
