Superbly done. Excellent result.

Very well done. Thanks for posting.

That is a great idea. Absolutely a favorite.

Very impressive project. What a lot of work!

This project combined four steps. If you would like more information about any of these steps, let me know. 1. Make an octagonal frame and background. 2. Prepare a pattern for an eagle. 3. Make a wooden eagle to fit the octagonal frame. Dimensions of this eagle: 8.5" wide, 3.75" high. 4. Wood burn a verse onto the background. Glue eagle and frame to the background. I also added a sawtooth hanger to the back of the frame.

Wow. Very well done!

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

This is an intarsia horse I made for a grand daughter. I used a pattern from Kathy Wise' book, Intarsia - Woodworking for Beginners. Overall dimensions: 13" wide by 14.5" high. Wood used: walnut for mane cherry for head and neck wenge for eye, nostril and mouth I also used a medium brown wood but I do not know the name of that wood. Here are some photos taken while building this horse. *** Pattern still applied. First cut done except for pieces to be cut from wenge. I had a lot of trouble with the eye area. Had to cut that section twice. Cutting done and some sanding done. For sanding, I used belt sander and found it left some flat marks. Using a sanding mop removed the flat sections and showed contours much better. Ready for top coat.

Very well done.

Hello, this is a name display which I made a couple months ago. I have made a few name displays with one name but usually make them with two names. I design them using Inkscape, a free product with a lot of features. I cut this from a single piece of oak, 3/4" thick, 12" wide, 7.5" high. Cutting was done on a scroll saw. On the back I added a sawtooth hanger so it hangs on the wall.
