Old Country Mill

[GrampaJim]

This was requested by a friend.  At least 11 different kinds of wood in this.  Pattern by Bruce Worthington.

I like how you kept the mill flat no rounded edges, and gave the rocks the depth look.  oh and the water is also flat.  

Did the pattern originally have the water in the top of the water wheel?  That is a nice touch. The fluid shape of the wood to catch the water detail.

Yes, that was a nice touch by the designer, but it was a pain to cut and fit.

You have to be an expert intarsias' to achieve results like this!!!

That is so cool.  I especially like the water flowing over the rocks, the perfect wood.

I use 2 or 3 coats of Wipe-On Poly.  That seams to work for me unless I am finishing something white like Aspen, then I use a water base finish.
