Sail Boat
« on: April 30, 2012, 06:47:18 pm »
Here's a picture of my grandson's first attempt at making an Intarsia. 

Woods used: Cedar, Pine, Walnut, Yellow Heart and Blue Pine, with a Birch backing.
The frame was made from a Redwood 2"X4", stained.

We used the basic sail boat pattern out of JGR's Small Intarsia book and changed it some to make it more accurate and added the frame.
I wanted it framed to give Michael the experience of making it. 

He actually did about 90% of everything.  He's the Grandson I gave the "No Strings Attached" Intarsia to.
