Dragonfly on Cattails - Intarsia

[FrankEV]

I created this two layer Intarsia pattern with just a little help.  The actual Dragonfly design was shared with me by Dave Monk who made the original as an inlay for a box top.  Thanks Dave. Wood used: 1. For dragon fly - Aspen with application of Masters Pickling White and Roasted Flame Birch, 2. For the background scene panel- Black Limba, Blue Pine with an acrylic paint wash, Poplar, and Sapele, and 3. For the Frame: Ebonized Walnut. Note: The apparent simplicity of this piece is quite misleading as the actual assembly proved to be quite difficult.

 

Comments and critiques allways welcome.

I will post the pattern in Pattern Exchange.
