Popular Post barb.j.enders Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Here is my attempt at an intarsia project. I have done segmentation but this was "technically" intarsia, even though it was cut from the same wood. The wood is black ash, which I received from a friend - it was in his burn bin!! The wood is about 3/4" thick. Used a Flying Dutchman #3 full reverse. Finished with the Beeswax "Butter" that I got as a hostess gift. It is not completely finished. I want to put another coat or two of the wax on and then I have to attach the backer, but I thought is was close enough to post here. There are certainly "happy accidents" but if you can't see them I won't tell you where they are!!! I love the grain of the wood and thought it lent itself well to the project.

Ron Johnson Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Tell me all your happy accidents Barb … Lol. Very beautifully done. I have yet to do any intarsia.

Dak0ta52 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Great job, Barb. I have yet to get the courage to try intarsia yet. Plus, about the only wood that I have that isn't pine is plywood. Finding various hardwoods in my rural area is difficult. I'm in the process of selling some musical equipment and with the fund from that I plan to upgrade my scroll saw and purchase a bandsaw capable of doing resawing. Then I can make some of my own solid wood. Lots of cedar on my land as well as various oaks and hickory. Waiting for it to dry will be the hardest part. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Very nice work. Be careful, intarsia is very addictive. It may require treatment. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Very nice! Black ash certainly has interesting grain. And you might find that the beeswax butter may be your go to finish. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that Dave. I found this very frustrating - at least the star part. I am not sure I want to start hoarding even more wood!!

I had been thinking about making the beeswax butter, so it was a great gift to sample. The making of it will be on the "to do" list for next year! Loved the smell when I was applying it.
