Got this finished today. You can see the progress in "works in progress". Finished with three coats of shellac. I wouldn't normally show the back but I love the grain!!

Finished another intarsia piece. I am so glad that patterns are just suggestions!!! This pattern came from the SSWC #71. This is mostly poplar. The eye has some walnut & two other mystery woods. The lips are two separate mystery woods. Finished with one coat of shellac then topped with the beeswax butter! The Poplar is from the stuff I bought this spring and had cupped. The tips of the moon are on the cupped edge, but I thought it worked with the moon. I really liked the grey markings in the wood.

I had a nice, puttering day in the shop today. Worked on the glue up of my first multi-wood intarsia piece. I have reduced the pattern for this. Pattern designer is Janette Square. Used Poplar, Rainbow Poplar, Sapelle, Maple for the plant. Searched for wood to make a frame. Have that cut and glued. While all that was going on, did a fun little project. Thank you Steve Good! Frog is cut from Poplar and glued to a pine cookie left from a Christmas tree a number of years ago. Still needs the finish. Then I started another project. The wood is Cherry. Pattern by H Botas. What you are seeing is the back of it. Using #1 spiral blades. Thought of you @FrankEV while I was cutting. Turned the speed down on the saw and tried to keep a light touch.

When I was at my daughter's place, I noticed that their stockings were just being hung on a picture hook. Mom to the rescue!!! This is a Kathy Wise design that showed up in my FB feed recently. I cut this as segmentation from one piece of reclaimed elm, from our city's canopy. It is a little more than 1" thick. Used a(many) #7 Precision skip blade(s). Colour provided by watered down Unicorn Spit. There is one major cutting error that I turned into a design choice. This is just waiting for the Osmo satin finish to dry.

Hey Everyone! In this fun scroll saw project video, we make this Small Intarsia Mummy to get into the spooky season! This is my very first Intarsia Video and the project comes from the latest (fall) issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking Crafts Magazine by Fox Chapel Publishing. Hope you all like the video! #artisanPirate -
This is my first intarsia, my second and my third. By that I mean every piece was cut at least twice, some three times and some I just said good enough. Lots of errors, but I enjoyed the trip. Well be doing more in the future, time allowing. Made this for my Granddaughter, a nurse at Providence Hospital in Portland, Ore. She is doing very well for herself. Less than a year there and they have already asked her to be a Charge Nurse. Not real sure what that means but sounds good. Needless to say, Grandpa is very proud of her. The snakes and feathers are Canary wood, the upright, inlay and backer boarder is Black Walnut and the light brown is Monkey Pod. The white pieces are casein, which is a product made from milk protien. It is beautiful makes great pens. I put a picture here so you can see what it look like.

Sighting of the first robin of the season. Not sure of the wood. Cut with a #1 blade. Acrylic paints. Frame is a gel stain - don't remember the colour. Complete finish with Walrus Oil. Definitely some errors, but only I know about them. You can see the progress in the Works in Progess section. @heppnerguy- this was done over a couple of weeks, just so ya know!

Another piece done this year! Don't remember the wood. Cut with #3 FD full reverse. Finished with the beeswax/mineral oil "butter".

Here is my attempt at an intarsia project. I have done segmentation but this was "technically" intarsia, even though it was cut from the same wood. The wood is black ash, which I received from a friend - it was in his burn bin!! The wood is about 3/4" thick. Used a Flying Dutchman #3 full reverse. Finished with the Beeswax "Butter" that I got as a hostess gift. It is not completely finished. I want to put another coat or two of the wax on and then I have to attach the backer, but I thought is was close enough to post here. There are certainly "happy accidents" but if you can't see them I won't tell you where they are!!! I love the grain of the wood and thought it lent itself well to the project. Comments & critiques are welcome.

This project combined four steps. If you would like more information about any of these steps, let me know. 1. Make an octagonal frame and background. 2. Prepare a pattern for an eagle. 3. Make a wooden eagle to fit the octagonal frame. Dimensions of this eagle: 8.5" wide, 3.75" high. 4. Wood burn a verse onto the background. Glue eagle and frame to the background. I also added a sawtooth hanger to the back of the frame.

This is an intarsia horse I made for a grand daughter. I used a pattern from Kathy Wise' book, Intarsia - Woodworking for Beginners. Overall dimensions: 13" wide by 14.5" high. Wood used: walnut for mane cherry for head and neck wenge for eye, nostril and mouth I also used a medium brown wood but I do not know the name of that wood. Here are some photos taken while building this horse. *** Pattern still applied. First cut done except for pieces to be cut from wenge. I had a lot of trouble with the eye area. Had to cut that section twice. Cutting done and some sanding done. For sanding, I used belt sander and found it left some flat marks. Using a sanding mop removed the flat sections and showed contours much better. Ready for top coat.

Here is my most recent accomplishment. I am starting to really love intarsia. I originally bought my scroll saw to help with my carving by cutting out waste wood before the carving began, but soon found so many other cool things to do with it. This cross is made out of walnut and I think red cedar and finished with shellac. It turned out so well. I posted it on my facebook account last night and it sold within an hour. I was surprised. I put out that I would make more of them if anyone was interested, we will have to wait and find if anyone bites. It is an original design that I made a long time ago based on something else that I saw online and I really wish I still had the photo that inspired it. I hope you all like it.

My 1st attempt ar Intarsia, from the Kathy Wise 2007 book Intarsia Woodworking Projects

Here are a few others I have cut over the years. These ones were local show entries. The Eagle was the first one I ever done, it's made from 7mm ply and stained. The Draught Horse is also ply and stain. Both are backed with some fancy material that I can't think the name of, it kind of shimmers in the light. The Tiger is the same as the other two, ply and stain/paint. It is backed with printed material. I wanted something jungle like and this was the best I could get. It makes the image stand right out. For some reason I have strayed away from this type of work and moved towards fretwork. I might have to go back to it one of these days.

I got it all done with several coats of finish. It measures 20 x 32 and has 230+ pieces. I've got 45 hours in it. The woods used were. Aspen, aromatic red cedar, poplar, walnut, wenge, yellowheart, northern white cedar, honey locus and oak. The P.O.W flag and letters are oak that I ebonized and the blue is aspen that has been dyed. Everything else is natural colors of the wood. I really enjoyed making this one. It will be entered into our county fair later this summer. Update- The fair is over and I placed first.

I made this cougar from a pattern in the last issue of Scroll saw Woodworking. This magazine posts features and pattern from our own Homer and Carol Bishop, right here on The Village. We have so many talented people here who are so willing to share their knowledge with all of us. A big "THANK YOU TO THE BISHOP'S". Who have helped me on several occasions.
