wdkits1 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Hi everyone I'm in the process of designing the sign for our scrolling group-- The River City Scrollers here in Richmond. At our last meeting we cut out all of the letters for the sign and we decided to do an intarsia to show how Richmond got it's nickname--River City. I found a pic of The James River with the city in the background and gridded it to help with the scale. The next step was to make the frame for the sign. I found some 12" wide Mahogany that a friend of mine has (over 1000bf and over 40 years old) and bought 20 bf for use on some of my projects and it was perfect for the sign. I cut the frame out using the cut and drop method which gives me 1/2" of inlay area and routed the edges. I'm still working on drawing the pattern but should have enough done for the members to commence cutting at our next meeting. Will post pics of our progress. Quote
Travis Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 That's really going to turn out pretty. I can't wait to see how this progresses. Keep us up to date. Quote
Firedkm Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 This will be fun to watch.... I never have seen how a pattern was made up to do an intarsia piece. Quote
Marshall Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 This will no doubt turn out great ..................Marshall Quote
