wdkits1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Well after many trials and tribulations I finally finished my rendition of Pebble Beach# 7 for my son who lives in San Diego. We will be visiting him next week and he has no idea that I made this for him. The frame is 11" x16" oval made from Peruvian walnut. Intarsia woods; bushes and water--blue mahoe; Sand traps and crashing waves--holly; rocks--zericote; green--palo santos; grass--poplar; sky and sails on large boat--tulipwood; flag and sails on small boat--pau amerillo; mountains--purpleheart. 68 pieces. This was a challenging project. Quote
Vector01 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Beautiful!! Those wood selections are right on the money! Quote
Travis Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 That turned out awesome! You have a knack for picking the right wood for the sky/sunset. I'm really drawn to the rocks, though. Very cool. Nicely done. I need RL to slow down a bit so I can start back up on my project. You should create a User Gallery to show off your projects (you can find a tutorial here). Nicely done! Quote
shadylady0447 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Mike, your pieces just amaze me. This one is fantastic. Love the colors. Your son will be surprised and very pleased. Beautiful work. Quote
amazingkevin Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 i'd love to have a WD intarsia on my wall to lull at hour after hour at the beauty acheived in wood and skills Quote
