    Jim, I will assume that you priced it on the higher side. I typically charge $3.50-$4.00 per piece cut, but on this one...I went higher due to the difficulty and size.

    I made it like I do any intarsia piece. Layout the pattern, cut the pieces, shape each piece and then final assembly This one just took longer due to the size and number of pieces.

    Yes, I had the woods on hand before I started
  4. trailfndr
    Yes it is. The first one was smaller, as I had reduced the pattern, but I like this one much better due to the woods used

    A Kathy Wise pattern. While I have made this piece once before, the first one was reduced in size by nearly a foot. This one is full sized, at 52 inches by 22 inches. Made with over 200 pieces, of Aromatic Cedar, Aspen, Basswood, Chakta Viga, Chec hen, Peruvian Walnut, Poplar, Saple, Spalted Tamarind, and Walnut. A real challenge to build.

    Yes, my artwork is for sale. This piece will sell for $185.00 plus shipping in the US only. I do not ship out of country.

    Make copies of the pattern as needed to make the finished product, You can then sell the product, but NEVER sell the pattern.

    I usually buy 3/4" lumber and take it down to the size I need

    Jim, it Is a learning curve, I have tried it on 3-4 different projects, and ended up remaking pieces cause I didn't like the result. This piece called out for it, and I knew it could be off a bit and still look ok due to the subject matter. I will give you a hint, a LIGHT touch is best, and the grinder needs to be moving at high RPM'S.

    I have about 18 hours into it All the stems are individual pieces, Each segment of the pumpkins is a separate piece Yes, the Moon is Spalted maple

    "Harvest Moon" a Bruce Worthington pattern. Made with Canarywood, Holly, Honey Locust, Padauk, Poplar, Redwood, Royal Mahogany, Sitka Spruce, Spalted Maple, Spanish Cedar, Walnut, & Yellowheart Measures 14 x 17 inches I used a Wonder Wheel to texture the straw

    Marg, you are correct. I did this one about 6 years ago. Sold it, and since I do things differently now, and in my opinion, much better, I decided to re-visit this piece and make it better than the first one. Besides, Once Covid is no longer an issue and Art Shows restart in my area, I'll have enough inventory to display and sell.

    Stack Cutting 3/4" hardwood is NOT easy. I have tried it and it was a total failure. I would do as Dgman said, cut them individually and sand to fit. OR you can do as I did, and add a magnifier to your saw, and learn to cut more accurately. It just takes practice. Slow down your feed speed, and take your time. Cutting slow is more accurate and will lead to faster cutting as you become more comfortable with it over time.
