Ok, this is not for the FB February/March PAM, but it is an Umbrella Girl anyhow. I found this slightly risk-kay, un-titled, different, Stain Glass pattern that I’m calling ‘Umbrella Girl Embarrassing Moment’. I adapted the Stain Glass pattern for Intarsia, creating a nominal 11” x 16” pattern which includes the fixed frame. Wood used: Aspen, Alder, Blue Pine, Orange Osage, Poplar, Roasted Birch, Sapele, and Walnut (Frame). My supply of Blue Pine is not Blue at all, but it’s areas of near Whites, Pinks and Grays made a decent sky while I found a fairly Geen piece of Poplar for the water. The wood used for the beach has a defect and the white Aspen for the lower part of the dress has dark areas, enhanced by the finish, that were not removable by sanding. Both, much more noticeable in the photo than when viewed hanging on the wall. Finish is multiple coats of rattle can Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray. Comments and critiques are allways welcome.

I received a commission from my son-in-law’s sister for me to make her a piece of Intarsia as birthday gift for her husband who likes Beachy scenes, and more so, one that includes a Lighthouse. I happen to have a pattern, that was shared by Allen Barr on FB, of a slightly abstract version of a Lighthouse which she felt would be perfect. This is my interpretation of Allens Pattern. I first needed to convert his PDF of a paper print into a digital file so I could reduce his 15” diameter size and print out the pattern on one piece of 13”x 19” (Super B) paper. The final piece, including frame, is a nominal 12 ½” diameter. Wood used: Aspen, Basswood, Black Limba, Blue Pine, Monkeypod, Padauk, Spalted Maple,Wenge, Yellowheart, and Quarter Sawn White Oak for the Frame. Finish is multiple coats of rattle can spray Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish. Comments and critiques are allways welcome.

The FB February/March PAM is a series of eight Umbrella Girl patterns provided by Bob Beaupre. Entries can be one or more of the eight. You can find many finished versions Umbrella Girl Intarsia on Pinterest and I happen to run across a version of Number 7 by a Mehmet Biçer. Although the subject is not particularly interesting to me, after seeing Mehmet’s version I decided I would make only one and I also chose to do number 7. I used the photo his as guide for my presentation. I resized the patten slightly to fit a 9 3/4” x 11 3/4’ oval. Wood I used: Aspen, Basswood, Blue Pine (5/8” thick for Oval), Cherry, Mahogany, Purpleheart, Wenge, and Yellowheart. The project was an easy cut but cutting the hat gave me fits (pun intended) during fit-up. That damn hard Purpleheart…you get my drift! The finish is multiple coats of rattle can spray Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish. This is the image of the biece by Mehmet. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Next up! Woods, so far, Walnut, Mahogany & Maple. Pattern from Fantastic Woodworking. https://fantasticwoodworking.com/ I found this a very confusing pattern to look at. There are so many lines, dotted lines, dashed lines. The instructions for mounting are also written in the pieces. Anyway, it is all cut, except the water pieces. I did have them cut, but don't like the woods now!

One of the FaceBook pages I belong to runs a monthly project (PAM). This month's project is a Funky Owl. I got my piece of Purple Heart, that my niece grabbed for me, on Monday. I think she will get the finished project as a 30th birthday gift at the end of the month. I think this project was meant to happen this way. Now, here is the stack of woods & then the pieces all cut out. 27 pieces. Cut with MG#5 Woods used: Purple Heart, Yellow Heart, Zebrawood, Butternut, Canarywood, Orange Osage, White Limba, Cherry, Reclaimed Elm, Aromatic Cedar & Wenge.

This is my latest piece. Pattern by Bill Blodgett and ended up being modified because of "mistakes" made. Woods used were Aspen, Walnut and Cherry. The music was antiqued by soaking in coffee and then dried in the oven. Backer is 1/4" bb ply painted with acrylic paint. Cut with a #3 blade. Finish is 3 coats of blonde shellac.

Well, here it is. The next project. Tulips by Judy Vierstra. Pictures are the pieces all glued up and then just the leaves cut. Leaves are on Poplar. The tulip is on Cherry. I cut the leaves with #5 Precision full reverse from Sawbird. I wasn't as precise as I hoped. There will be cleaning up to be done to get rid of the gaps. Another learning opportunity!! It also appears that the printer wasn't set right so this pattern is a little larger than the original print out.
