Intarsia Enthusiasts
« on: April 19, 2010, 11:14:04 am »
Hi from EclipseScroller
Just interested in what kinds of projects others are involved in and where the interests are.  My most recent project was a group of guitars.  It was used by someone as a Christmas present.  It got an honorable mention in the latest SSWC magazine.

Hi Eclipse Scroller... Congrats on the honorable mention... very impressive to say the least.

As for projects, for me, they range from many of Steve's pattern projects to making clocks, or maybe a specialty coat rack.. canes.. even made a 13'+ long window sill for plants with a shelf and rack above for hanging plants.

Most of my smaller projects are given away to friends and family as gifts or in some cases, as 'just because' projects... Just because I like to see the smiles I get.. especially on a child's face..

Hope this helps to answer your question...

Ez

This was my first tray at Intarsia. I gave it to my wife. She loves Dolphin's. It has 15 peices and 3 types of wood. I am curently working on a 35 piece Holiday Teddy Bear. I will post it when I finish it.

You did a great job on the ZZ Top and car! Gets especially tricky when mixing woods in the project so hats (and sunglasses  ;D) off to you !

Canadasgall - I haven't decided if I will publish that pattern or not.  It was over 220 pieces with 15 varieties of wood.  I created the pattern from pictures of a guitarist's real guitars.  Some of the pieces are real small with the overall size being about 18"x24".

Nice looking ship Curt.  Great job - your second project will even be more fun.  Watch out for the addiction though LOL  ;)
