Oak Leaf Door Topper

[trailfndr]

A Judy Gale Roberts patter.  made with Afromosia, Aromatic Cedar, CheChen, Lyptus, Osage Orange, Paduck, Peruvian Walnut, Poplar, Red Oak, and Walnut.  It is 37 inches long by about 7 inches tall.  I was worried about so many exotic woods, but it turned out even better than I expected it to.

Thanks Everyone.  I'll tell ya,  that Afromosia, and Osage Orange are some HARD woods to cut.  I went thru a blade (FD-UR5) on each leaf of those two woods, just to be able to leave a smooth clean cut, and to be able to follow the line.  They are so hard its difficult to follow a line properly.  I slowed my feed rate to almost nothing.  With Poplar, I can cut a leaf in 30 seconds.  With Afromosia, the same leaf took me 5 minutes or more.  NOT woods I would use on a daily basis, but they darn sure add a nice coloration to the finished project.  Special pieces only for these woods  LOL.

I'm impressed! Beautiful mix of wood!

[Barry5180]

That is one beautiful piece. I'm pretty sure I've never worked with Afromasia, let alone heard of it. Now I have something new to google. I have not attempted intarsia yet, but seeing this kind of work makes me want to just do it. Absolutely gorgeous.

I'm at Judy's studio this week. That's one of the patterns the wife picked out. Very nice job.

[Scrappile]

+1 to all the above!

Great job, only problem is down here in LA ( lower Alabama ) we can't pronounce the names of the woods, much less find them.
