I have been collecting different woods for about 35 years. I was a logger for 17 years. All told I probably have 10-20 thousand dollars' worth of wood stuck back. My family has sawmill that I get my local hardwoods and when I travel, I look up and visit people with sawmills. I also visit different wood stores in my travels. Luckily for me, I also have a friend that has a local woodwork store that stocks exotic woods. Whenever I go to east Tennesse I always visit Jeffries Wood Works and buy a load as well. Never can have too much wood.

Another photo of the island cove intarsia piece that I recently finished. It was presented to its owner this last Thursday 6/29/23. The original design came from Bruce Worthington and I changed it some to get the look I wanted. Since I've had numerous people ask what woods I used, I thought I would post it again with a list. 1. African padauk- Red top half of background 2. Cherry-Brown lower half of background and frame 3. Western red cedar-Different shades for beach, background behind trees, sailboat mast and around top of boat. 4. Walnut-Palm trees and shadow inside boat. 5. Maple-Refection of boat in water. 6. Beetle killed pine-Water 7. Poplar-Different shades for vegetation around base of trees. 8. Catalpa-Palm fronds. 9. Spalted hickory-Gathering storm clouds 10. Aspen-Sail and body of boat.

Another one of my color filled shield eagles that I cut from cherry. I filled this one with purple resin. It’s looks bluer in the photo.

Thank y'all!!!

My newest Tree of Life. Cut from 1/2 inch cherry. It went to it's owner Friday.

Another Bruce Worthington design that I made this for my grandson Noah. The second photo shows the size of one of the door frames.

One of my newest Intarsia pieces. A Bruce Worthington design that I changed up some. 9 different woods, all natural colors.

It’s coming together. I have the first coat of finish on most of it, but still have the horns left to do the shaping on.

I've been a scroller for 38 years. I've had plenty of minor cuts, but you would have to be really dedicated to lose a finger on a scrollsaw, lol

All the shaping and the first coat of finish is done.
