    As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to cut it. I like unique projects. Should be able to start cutting the pattern tomorrow.

    From Wikipedia: The Green Man, also known as a foliate head,[1] is a motif in architecture and art, of a face made of, or completely surrounded by, foliage, which normally spreads out from the centre of the face.[2] Apart from a purely decorative function, the Green Man is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of new growth that occurs every spring.

    The 60's were about acceptance, this is the closest I've done. Not my best work, I was asked to make something for a fundraiser a day before it was happening. I think it was a take on a Sue Mey pattern.

    I swear I am going so slow I think my mind is actually moving the wood. Maybe people who are good are really Jedi.

    Progress not perfection is the key.

    I've done a few TOL, but gotta admit, I really like this way.

    We all understand autocorrect, some of mine are really hilarious,

    This is my journey into doing intarsia. Learning as I go and certainly not using the more exotic woods that are available. Strictly pine and poplar so far using stains or paint for color. The actual order that I have done them is the Whale, Rooster, Goldfish, Butterfly, Apple and finally the Cat. Happy with my progress, but still much to learn.

    I'm moving away from selling stuff, the only fun part is actually interacting with other people at a show. That said, I'll still be cutting and enjoy the challenges of puzzle cutting.

    I say sorta intarsia as it was cut from the same piece of cheap pine. I did cut the light pieces from a different part of the same board as the dark to see how well I could match up. Used 2 different shades of danish oil for coloring. Learned a lot, especially that while I can cut to a line pretty well, I for sure can't draw one with a woodburning tool. Comments welcome.

    I'll join in, just as gifts for friends. Took the pic of the dragon before I got my clocks.

    Greetings from Lawrence, MA. I too use colored Mat board as a backer. Michaels in Salem NH had a decent selection last time I was there. Hobby Lobby in Manchester has more, but driving to Manchester can be a pain.

    This is exactly what I was wondering. Any tips about the stains you use, do you need to thin, etc? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, one of those was exactly what I was looking for.
