My dad has a lot more talent then me. I am just a copy catter. He is so good at so many things. I like to think that I give him a run for his money.
-
Thanks Jeff. It is a small piece, only about an 8 to 10 inch wing span.
-
The bird is pretty small. This comes from a pattern that includes a flower in it. I would guesstimate the longest wing span to be about 8 to ten inches. It is pretty small.

I am not a scroller, but my guess is that the cutting is very much the same. It actually does not have to be as exact because the shaping and sanding will account for the mis cuts. My dad said I can not use cuss words if I get off the line, instead I just say "challenge"

I definitely think that it is better to finish a piece prior to mounting it to the background, but not sure i would want to finish it by individual pieces.
-
Dad I might have a few tricks to share withyou, but when it comes to being an intarsia expert...you win. You are so much better.
-
Thanks. I am pretty happy with the finish. It is so much better to finish the piece before mounting it to any background
-
Thanks
-
Well he set down some rules, so i try real hard to pick up after myself. Luckily he has his old saw still.
-
What a powerful difference the color makes. I hope you continue to feel good
-
I would agree because there is not much left

Ok sorry I could not show my last piece but I like this one also. I made this for a friend at work. I finished it the same day I started it. I like the finish. It is a satin water base finish with three coats and 320 sanding between each .

i am sorry. I do not know how to fix it. Would have loved to shared it.
-
Thanks for all of that
-
I never used a water base satin finish. I made the mistake of using steel wool and not cleaning it good enough between coats. Thanks for the compliment.
-
I am pretty happy with this piece, except for the finish needs a little work. I think next time i will finish before i glue together. I learned a lot on this one. Thought it was going to be perfect. Oh well. [attachment=34131:4th piece.jpscroll down I will try to subnit it again from my phone

Once a Jones always a Jones.

I am sticking with intarsia it is way easier i am sure.
-
Those are great Dan! Do you sell them? I bet they would move fast.;
-
That is nice. SO what is the dimensions of your pattern? It looks like it is a decoration you would set up every year on the mantel. It is intarsia or individual pieces, I can not tell. So dimensional.
-
I am amazed by people who can make their own patterns. That is a talent all by itself
-
That is really nice.
-
Good job
-
Oh geeezz I thought you made that for me.

I decided that I am giving the cat in the window to my nephew as a wedding gift.
