Three Cristmas Candy Canes - Intarsia

[FrankEV]

I adapted a free downloadable Stained-Glass pattern into a nominal 10”x16” pattern for Intarsia.  Wood used: Aspen, Padauk, Poplar, Purpleheart, and Osage Orange. The Aspen was enhanced with pickling-white stain, and the Poplar was enhanced using a dilute green dye.  Finish is multiple coats of Clear Semi-gloss Lacquer.  After cutting and shaping, fit-up was good, but glue-up assembly was difficult to maintain proper positioning.  I'll be posting the pattern in Pattern Exchange for the those who like a challenge.

Comments and critiques always welcome.

Beautiful @FrankEV!  And thanks for the pattern.

I think I see the others – did you use the Osage Orange for the berries?

Yes

Beautiful Frank!  Frank, although I very rarely do intarsia but I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your patterns.  I have collected many of them, both intarsia and the non-intarsia ones, just because I have been thinking of doing some intarsia.
