| Working out of your comfort zone is always a challenge and exciting....good for ya. Don't forget we need pictures here, so don't be shy when you complete the project, or if you want do a WIP. Good luck.

| Tony, Welcome to the forum and like everyone said, outside the box is where you learn. I was totally new to scrolling and issue came out with the Ribbons and Bows project. I was telling myself I couldn't do it. I was encouraged by the kind people on this site and so I tried. You know, it came out rather nice and gave me a huge boost to try more complicated things. Good luck, YOU CAN DO IT!!! (But you MUST post pictures...LOL)

| Tony, glad you are liking it so far. Intarsia is very fun to make and gives you room for a lot of creativity in wood selection (grain & colors) and of course in the shaping of your piece. You will get addicted to it, like a bunch of us did after our first project! Good luck with the eagle!

| Hi Tony - working outside the box is the place to be - just have a beer occasionally to calm the nerves! Good luck with your project and look forward to seeing the end result. have fun!
