Buffalo Box Part 4 The Intarsia begins

Posted 11-30-2009 at 04:30 PM by Woodworking Plus

I will begin this stage of the intarsia process by resawing the wood that will become the background for the box lid. I am using Lacewood that will be bookmatched cut to 3/16”

After the resawing is done I have cut the bookmatched pieces to length and have placed them on the wokbench and beltsand them to remove saw marks. I like to set the pieces on a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to help hold them still while I sand them with the sander....

Buffalo Box Part 3-The Pattern

Posted 11-21-2009 at 10:44 PM by Woodworking Plus

I will start by creating the scaled background for the intarsia pattern. Using Word office 2007 I did the 6” x 8” pattern sheet that fits into the top recess of the box lid and put the oval 1/2 ” from the edges.

Buffalo Box Part 2-The glue-up

Posted 11-08-2009 at 09:06 PM by Woodworking Plus

In my first installment I showed the steps to cut and prep the stock for the custom keepsake box.
This installment shows the steps to glue -up the box and cut the lid.
I begin by gluing in the accent strips on all of the box sides. I am using Holly strips that I sized 1/4" wide by 1/8" thick

Buffalo Box-Part 1 Milling the stock

Posted 11-01-2009 at 06:18 PM by Woodworking Plus
Updated 11-01-2009 at 04:42 PM by Woodworking Plus

I will begin this WIP series with a little history. I have been creating Intarsia since 1992 after reading an article in Wood magazine by Judy Gayle Roberts about how to do this beautiful woodworking artform. After doing a couple of her patterns, I started creating my own Intarsia patterns and began collecting many different woods to use in my art. Learning about the wide selection of natural colors and grains of the various woods and being able to incorporate them into my pieces is still the...
