Finished another intarsia piece. I am so glad that patterns are just suggestions!!! This pattern came from the SSWC #71. This is mostly poplar. The eye has some walnut & two other mystery woods. The lips are two separate mystery woods. Finished with one coat of shellac then topped with the beeswax butter! The Poplar is from the stuff I bought this spring and had cupped. The tips of the moon are on the cupped edge, but I thought it worked with the moon. I really liked the grey markings in the wood.

Another build that my wife has claimed. This is Judy Gale Roberts "Barn Owl ornament" pattern that I enlarged to about 6" by 8 inches. Walnut, Butternut, Aspen, and mystery wood that I found in one of my scrap bins. The eyes are Butternut that I ebonized.

A relative saw the original buckskin horse I had made, and asked me if I could make one white. She has owned a white horse for several years. So I changed the Butternut I used for the brown and used Aspen for hers. The eye, nose, and inner ear are Walnut that I ebonized. It was a pretty easy change and she is delighted with the result.

For those of you interested in taking one of Judy Gale Roberts Intarsia classes - she released her class schedule for 2018 yesterday (Aug. 15, 2017). She has cut back in the past couple of years on the number of classes that she is offering each year. They fill up pretty quickly too so if you are interested in attending one next year - do not wait too long to signup. I waited last year to sign up for this year's Advanced Classes (having taken her Beginners and Intermediate ones last year) and missed my opportunity to go this year so I jumped right on it yesterday and have signed up for the Advanced class next year. You do have to pay a deposit to sign up but its not the full cost and the final payment is due I think two weeks before the class begins. I know a couple of you are doing the Intermediate class this Fall - so if you sign up now for the Fall Advanced Class next year, you can be in class with me! a Win-win! Not affiliated - have just taken her classes and loved them. I do have the benefit of being close so no real travel plans for me and that helps on the expense but her classes are awesome and would encourage anyone who wants to learn intarsia or how to get more realistic images to try to make some of her classes.you can find the information on her website here: https://intarsia.com/collections/classes
