|  lion mask I've done a few intarsia pieces - a number of Kathy Wise's angel ornaments, and a bear by Sue/Toni. Here's one I will show! LOL Again, design by Sue/Toni - their stylized Lion mask. Cut from Redwood (salvaged when our church was remodeled), Mahogany, Oak, Walnut, and birch (?) highlights in the eyes. |

 | It looks nice.Good choice on finish,it looks nice when its not al glossy I think.The thing I dont care for with it is my mind tells me the nose is crooked, and although it is designed that way, i think it would look better if it were more, ummm 'aligned'. Great cutting and shaping! Dale |

| For only having done a few pieces, that looks pretty good. Symetry is what makes the world go round, but some things are just made to be a little off center (good thing for me or I'd be locked away). Tom |

| thanks guys. When I hold the mask in my hands, the nose bothers me some too. But when I look at it far away, it looks fine. Sometimes you have to admire from a distance... LOL T |

| An excellent cutting and, agreeing with Dale, the finish is lovely (I hate glossy finished work, too) As for the symmetry: that's where traditional woodworkers always find the problems, they are so used to squaring and angles etc, it is difficult to adjust. Keep up the good work Sue |

| There are some designs that do look best from face on! I've done a few animals, particularly frogs- that when viewed from the side look "odd" - particulary if the eye is on the edge of the work. Your mask looks great. Now that you've been bitten by the intarsia bug...what's your next project? |

| Ian - I can envision you holding your computer screen moving it back and forth like a newspaper -  Thanks for the comments everyone. Janette - My next project is going to be a segmentation one - another dragon I think. I am also cutting the pieces to the rest of Kathy Wise's nativity set - but am holding off on shaping them until I can set the dremel up outside. |
