But since it all started here, I will post it here.

I loved that beautiful carousel horse she did. Well the pattern never became available but this awesome print of it did. Just got it back from my favorite frame shop and now will grace our home. Right now it is sitting on the couch until I find the proper place to hang it.

Thanks Theresa, although it is not the real piece, this print is beautiful too.

The frame shop did an outstanding job on it.

I got som great ideas and here are a couple of pictures of my progress,
Sails are Holly, the ice is blue pine rigging (mast and booms) walnut, and the scooter hull is very old cedar. The blue sky is stained aspen.
still lots to do. There is no finish on it at all.
It is 7-1/4 in in diameter for reference. .

One of our board members will offer up a pattern to other members to be reproduced by them and the results - ie finished projects (pieces) - will be posted in the Challenge thread. By this means a group of members can compare their work and interpretation of the Challenge subject in a common thread. Challenges are open to all board members irrespective of their skill level. Newcomers or relatively inexperienced members are encouraged to join these challenges and use them as a vehicle to try our new techniques or improve their existing scrolling abilities. Experienced members are encouraged to participate as mentors to less experienced members.

2. Is Guidance given on how to produce a project?
Guidance will be provided by the Challenge originator in the form of question/answer postings in the Challenge thread. He or she may also provide Work in Progress guidelines in the form of photos or a tutorial. All Challenge participants are encouraged to join in these question/answer posting with their own thoughts, ideas and tips. Usually there are several ways to come up with a similar result and the more information that is shared by the participants the more knowledge is gained.

3. Is posting of Work In Progress pictures permitted
Definitely!!! WIP photos not only provide interest but are an extremely valuable teaching aid for newcomers and semi experienced members. Also, if a participant has a problem with a particular part of a project, for example, the cutting or shaping of a pieces, posting a WIP photo is one of the best ways to explain it to others and obtain help

4. What woods and cutting technique (intarsia or segementation) should be used for a Challenge project?
There are usually no fixed rules on what woods and cutting technique should be used for a project unless stipulated by the Challenge originator. Patterns can be transformed into finished pieces using whatever woods the participant has to hand. The cutting technique can usually follow a segmentation or an intarsia style or a combination of both
Note: If you are a newcomer and have doubts what this means take a look at this thread

5. What decoration and finishing techniques should be used?
Again, unless stipulated by the Challenge originator, the choice of decoration and finish is usually left to the individual. Finishes can be natural wood finishes, use of staining or ebonizing techniques, use of paints, or mixed media finishes. Non wood materials can also be included

6. How are patterns issued to Challenge participants - Once a Challenge is begun a thread for it will be opened in the Sticky threads sub section relating to Intarsia, Inlay or Segmentation scrolling. The head post will provide information on how members can apply for and receive a pattern. Once a pattern is received the participant can begin the challenge

*** IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING ISSUING OF PATTERNS*** A pattern or patterns will only be provided to members who make an honest commitment to participate in the Challenge and share their experiences and results with others. The individuals who initiate these Challenges not only provide their patterns free of charge but also put a lot of their time and effort into creating a successful Challenge. All members requesting a pattern are asked to respect this point and not simply look on Challenges as a means to obtain a free pattern and give nothing in return!

7. How long does a Challenge run? - Challenges have no fixed time limit but the Challenge originator will usually indicate a final date for acceptance of new participants and a rough guide as to when the Challenge will close. Around 8 weeks start to finish is a reasonable time period

FINAL POINT - THIS IS NOT A QUESTION, IT'S A RULE!

Challenges have a serious side, but they are meant to be fun. Please help make them run that way!! ]]> Intarsia, Inlay, and Segmentation jim_mex http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/intarsia-inlay-and-segmentation/33062.htm <![CDATA[Bee's Wax intarsia]]> http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/intarsia-inlay-and-segmentation/33059.htm Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:00:29 GMT Hello again gang another item for you to look at, needs a bit more work and then a finish, dont ask what the mark is i think he's got a pimple on his bum!!!!

I would like to do some inlay work using two woods.
What I would like to do is have the inlaid piece protrude about 1/8" above the surface of the surrounding wood for carving purposes.
+ have the base of both woods flush against the backer.

What draft angle would work best and what thickeness of wood do you suggest to obtain this with a snu fit??

Thanks for the replies. ]]> Intarsia, Inlay, and Segmentation Blue Danube http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/intarsia-inlay-and-segmentation/33033.htm Xmas themed Intarsia/Segmentation Challenge - anyone interested? http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/intarsia-inlay-and-segmentation/32999.htm Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:24:34 GMT *Hi folks *- A couple of members have been nudging me recently to drum up a new Xmas themed Challenge in this section and as setting one will be a good way to get me to commit to actually starting and finishing something quickly in my shop after a 3 month absence how about this for a fun idea...... Hi folks -
A couple of members have been nudging me recently to drum up a new Xmas themed Challenge in this section and as setting one will be a good way to get me to commit to actually starting and finishing something quickly in my shop after a 3 month absence how about this for a fun idea...

Last Christmas I posted a 'Climbing Santa Toy' which was real fun to make and which I hoped to follow up on. Well, like a lot of you guys, work seemed to continually get in the way of play and this idea fell by the wayside, but I'd like to resurrect it now as Challenge if anyone is interested.

I think this project can be tackled from many aspects - as a simple scrolled cutout and painted toy, as a stained or painted segmentation piece - as I made it originally - or for those folks who have access to nice woods, as a natural wood intarsia project. Whichever way is chosen you will end up with a cute functional toy which will definitely get attention at Christmas, especially from younger members of the family.

If there is sufficient interest in this Challenge, let's say a minimum of 15 firm takers, I'll remake this project over the next couple of weeks using each of the three different approaches I've just mentioned along with a couple of design changes to iron out a few rough spots and to simplify some points. At the same time I'll produce a slide show WIP tutorial similar to the one I posted for the Toucan Challenge

For any newbies to segmentation or intarsia reading this post,
please don't be put off by thinking this Challenge may be too much for you. I can assure you that it won't be, neither will you need lots of fancy tools to make it, plus you'll get loads of help on the way!!!

So, if you are interested please leave a reply in the post along the lines of 'Count me in for a some fun'!

Starting date for the Challenge will be around the end of September.

For those folks who haven't seen him before my Climbing Santa will look something like this guy.
