A different Koi

[barb.j.enders]

Well,  I started on another Intarsia piece.  I am happy with the shaping and colours for the Koi.  I am beyond thrilled about the shadow box I was able to build!  That part was giving me fits.  I don't use a table saw. Don't have a planer. Don't have a jointer.  This was all cut on the scroll saw and it is square!!!!!  Now I just need to get "stoned", lots of stones!!!  The box will be painted black.  Not quite sure if I am going to put a frame around it or what to finish it off!

Great work. I like Koi.  Had a large Koi pond when I lived in NC.

A easy way to finish the exposed edges of the box is to use a wood vaneer tape with heat applied adheasive backing.  You can make nice mitered corners with a straght edge and razor knife.  If the interior is painted black, the exterior can be finished with a wood stain to match the vaneer (or visa versa).

We're all friends here. We won't judge you if you're a stoner.
