Jumping Tiger Intarsia

[Bpardue]

Thought I would share my progress photo of my next piece. The Jumping Tiger designed by Kathy Wise. There are 525 pieces. Reached a milestone this weekend. All the basswood is cut. I will either be dying or whitewashing all the base wood. Still have to finish cutting the stripes, eyes & mouth areas.

The cub in the grass has about 50 + pieces and is no bigger than the diameter of a coke can. I have about 5 days into cutting and have at least 1 more full day of cutting. Once cut I still have to raise & lower some sections for added depth than on to shaping.
