country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Very nice work Theresa !....Fit and finish are very nice ! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 That came out really nice, you should be very proud of it! Thanks. I am pretty happy with the finish. It is so much better to finish the piece before mounting it to any background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I might just learn something about finishing from you, Theresa...Boy I hate to say that to such a newby....Oh, well, I just might be too old to learn anything any more.. Dick heppnerguy Dad I might have a few tricks to share withyou, but when it comes to being an intarsia expert...you win. You are so much better.

country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 another great job Theresa. The humming bird looks great and I am sure your friend loves it. Dick - we are never too old to learn new tricks! I definitely think that it is better to finish a piece prior to mounting it to the background, but not sure i would want to finish it by individual pieces.

country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 WoW, you did a great job on that piece. I never tried intarsia before but I'm always tempted. Not sure if I could do that type of cutting. I am not a scroller, but my guess is that the cutting is very much the same. It actually does not have to be as exact because the shaping and sanding will account for the mis cuts. My dad said I can not use cuss words if I get off the line, instead I just say "challenge" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well done on that piece. The fit, shaping and finish are right on. What is the size? The bird is pretty small. This comes from a pattern that includes a flower in it. I would guesstimate the longest wing span to be about 8 to ten inches. It is pretty small.

country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 LOVE IT!!! That is beautiful! I know so many people in my family that would cherish it. Very nicely done. I agree with Denny, what are the dimensions? Keep up the great work! Jeff Thanks Jeff. It is a small piece, only about an 8 to 10 inch wing span.

country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Great job! Must be a genetic thing. dave My dad has a lot more talent then me. I am just a copy catter. He is so good at so many things. I like to think that I give him a run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country girl Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sweet! I love making humming birds , great job on this one. If I may make one suggestion, blacken the eye. Burnish a piece of walnut or I have also used a magic marker with a gloss finish just on the eye. It will really make things pop. Thanks I will be sure to do that before I give it to her/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country girl Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Very nice work Theresa !....Fit and finish are very nice ! Thank you. I had to do a little redesigning to get that good of a fit. I always said that a good wodworker is one that can hid their mistakes.
