Horse head Intarsia

[Jim Finn]

I found an image of a horse head on line and made this intarsia image of it. It is made of Oak, Pine, Mahogany, Mesquite and Ebony and is 21" tall I used 1/4" ply for backer board and made a hanger for it of old band saw blade. The woods are all 3/8" thick. I used a spray can from Walmart "triple Thick Glaze" as a finish.

I came into some wood from an apple tree and made another one of these. No photo though, sold it too fast. The apple wood had so many different colors in it that that is all the wood I needed to make the whole thing. Now I need to make another one I guess.
