Popular Post heppnerguy Posted February 10, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 This was a challenge for me. I have never made an intarsia pattern on my own before. My neighbor came to me with a photo of the military airplane he spent his 25 Canadian Air force carrier in. This aircraft was used to search the ocean waters for enemy subs. I found it very challenging for me because he kept changing what I was doing and he kept wanting it to be more of a model than an intarsia item. I was really wanting to making it just the way he wanted it but every change, along the way, put more doubt in my success to make it happen and added a lot of extra time to the process. This project is 28 inches long and approximately 14 inches high. I used a woodburner to make the stripe on the body of the plane black.

He sort of mentioned it last year but nothing was done about it until about a month ago when he mentioned it once more and then sent me a photo of the plane Dick heppnerguy scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 It was a challenge as it was my first intarsia pattern I made. He said he is going to take to Canada with him and show it to some of the guys that flew this airplane too.

meflick Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Excellent work Dick. Glad he liked it. He should, it is wonderful. Lesson for all of us to learn, take on a project for someone, keep them out of the workshop until you have it completed! Duly noted here.

I was a real challenge for me as I am not a pattern maker and the photo I had of the craft was not all that clear. I had to do a lot of things that really do not go as protocol so that added to the stress of it. I am just glad that it is finally finished and out of my shop. Thanks for the encouraging comment.

I am happy that you apparently liked the end product. That is my goal but this one was way more challenging then I expected. Way too many changes of ideas from the time I got it cut to the finished project. Thanks for the nice comments though Dick heppnerguy JackJones and scrollingforsanity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son-in-law is an aviation tech and keeps the Canadian Hercules planes flying for search & rescue. My neighbor has his other house on Victoria Island and spends the winter here. He told me yesterday, that he was going to take this plaque home to Canada and show it to some of the guys that also worked Shore guardian duty on this air craft. He believes they will like it too.
