Popular Post GrampaJim Posted April 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted April 13, 2021 Not much action in the SSV Intarsia topic, so I will add one. Just finished this one for the 5 time, maybe more. I make one than a friend wants one too. I don't mind, it probably my favorite pattern. preprius, Foxfold, new2woodwrk and 9 others 11 1 Quote
Tomanydogs Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 That’s beautiful. I can see why everybody would want one. Quote
preprius Posted April 14, 2021 Report Posted April 14, 2021 Very nice. I count about 90 pieces. Quote
ben2008 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Excellent. Big Intarsia fan here. I know the work that goes into that project. I made that exact same JGR pattern about 10 years ago. It hangs in my daughters house in FL now. GrampaJim 1 Quote

Dave Monk Posted May 14, 2021 Report Posted May 14, 2021 Need to try that one some day. Awesome job! Quote

I have made two of the 36's and at lease 4 of the 24's. Have not tried the 50" yet. Just cutting the backer board for that would be a tough job. Quote

You sure have a low price for that on Etsy. Edited May 14, 2021 by Dave Monk Quote
