    I made another intarsia horse, using a pattern from Kathy Wise's book. The book calls for the pattern to be enlarged. I was able to do that at a local copy shop. Final dimensions are approximately 14" by 15". I used four kinds of wood. *** cherry for the neck and face *** walnut for the mane and part of the nose *** lace for the somewhat darker part of the face, neck and inner ear *** wenge for the eye, tongue and part of the nose. I applied the pattern, first aligning pattern pieces with wood grain. I cut the pattern in sections. Then I cut the sections apart. The pattern called for a few sections to be raised and one section to be reduced. I applied shims to raise the indicated sections and reduced one section on the belt sander. I sanded curves and edges with a belt sander and a sanding mop. The sanding mop was on a standard drill which I had mounted so it was horizontal. The sanding mop is effective in clearing flat spots and keeping the curvature so the final looks better. I glued the parts together and filled cracks with sawdust mixed with glue. Then lots more hand sanding. Finally I applied a sawtooth hanger to the back and applied two coats of shellac.

    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.
