Yes Larry, it is poplar. Thanks everyone. The encouragement received on this site just makes me want to spend even more time on the saw and do better work.

Made these just before Christmas gifts to give to wife's adult children. Both are Steve Good Designs
-
Downloaded the pattern from Steve Goods site. I cut two bowls, one from poplar, one from Aromatic cedar. Alternated the pieces, glued together the sides, sanded the inside with the drum sander, then glued on the bottom, and sanded the outside. Cuts were at a 20 degree angle for 3/4 inch lumber. Finished with Danish oil. Here is the link to Steve's pattern catalog: http://stevedgo.ipower.com/cat/

Here are a couple of bowls that I made yesterday. Design by Steve Good Made with Poplar and Aromatic Cedar, and I used Danish Oil (cherry) to finish.
-
Thank you to all. These were fun and easy to make, so I will be making more of them in the future. These should sell easily in most markets.
-
Both of these are Steve Good Patterns.
-
This was my first attempt, and I made some errors mostly in the layout. I glued 7 pieces of wood together and should have centered the pattern. I was off by a bit but that's ok on this one, its for myself. Oak Poplar, and Aromatic Cedar Design is by Steve Good, and I enlarged it.
-
Pretty cool. What did you use to create the red?
-
I made these as a gift for a friend. Stack Cut which allowed the extra one for ME! Letters were cut out individually and glued into place after painting.

When I started doing intarsia, I used a scroll saw and a bench top belt sander. After several pieces I added a dremel with Flex shaft. Today, I still use both of those, (although the belt is used but rarely now) but have added a flexible drum to my drill press, and a sanding mop. Most intarsians will recommend a spindle sander, but if you can cut your pieces accurately, you can do without that one. Just insure your blade is square to the table, and don't rush your cutting.

Found this pattern in the pull-out section of the current scrollsaw magazine. Pattern is by Bruce Worthington. Cut the front from Baltic Birch, and then the outside was cut stack style with a piece of 3/4" poplar, then stained Ebony for the contrast

Super nice job. Thanks for sharing
-
Its the lighting, Photos were taken in different rooms, with way different lighting. It may also be the difference in the frame. I messed up the original fram of Aspen, and as I didn't have enough to redo it, I switched to oak. That would also make the bird appear lighter in color. All I ever put on is a clear spray finish

Spent most of Saturday and Sunday working a a Judy Gale Roberts pattern. Finished size is 20 x 14 inches. I used Pau Amarillo, Aromatic Cedar, Walnut, Poplar, Mahogany, Western Cedar, Oak and Bloodwood. Proof that you can get good results with limited tooling. Just the saw, a benchtop belt sander, cheap drum sander attached to the drill press, and a dremel
-
Kevin, there is no stain on the mancave sign, its just the lighting where I hung it on the wall. its made of Oak. Only the red on the wings logos was painted. And I thank you for the kind words..
-
Finished these this week. Something different for me. Mancave is a Steve Good Pattern. Red Wings is my own pattern, with the letters individually cut out and glued into place.
-

-

-
Made this Holiday Candle this morning, Its a Garnett pattern (sawbird.com) Used Red and White Oak, Bloodwood, Pau Amarillo, Maple, aspen, and poplar (Green heartwood)

Kevin, My shop is a small 10 x 7 room. two benches, a drill press, scroll saw, and belt sander are the only stationary tools. I use a dremel and hand sander more than anything to shape and sand the work. Really nothing fancy, and no where near what I wish to someday have. In all reality, most of my pieces take very little time to build. Average is 6-10 hours of shop time. For me, the key is knowing in advance what I want to achieve, and then planning the steps in my head.
-
A friend asked me to make a Pitbull for him. I used Walnut and Aspen. I had to use stain for the inner ear and nose.
-
Thank you, But I still have a LONG ways to go Untill I get there, I'll keep on working to improve even more.
-

-
