Here is a thread for everyone to post finished pictures of the frog they completed for the 2009 Intarsia Challenge.

Great Job everyone! I look forward to seeing them all here so we can peruse them as a group.

Grover and Jim you both did a nice job on the frog. Pat - Your frog just catches my eye! What a wonderful job. Congratulations to all three of you!

I've been silently following the thread and from what I've seen they all seem great.

Jim, your frog is almost lifelike due to your choice of wood.

Here's my froggie. A great big

to Janette for a fun learning experience. I know I'm going to do more Intarsia! It is a challenge, but the enjoyment and end result for me were worth every minute.
Leaf is Cherry, Head and Knee - Black Locust, Eyes - Cocobolo,
Pupils - Ebony with inlaid Holly for the dots, Toes - Boxwood, Lip - Green Poplar and the
Chin and Neck - Holly.

I've been following the thread and I think we have some really good wood artists in the making. Great job by everyone so far.

Finished mine today . We can't all be great artists but some of us try . I sort of themed mine after the Australian Fires . He is a survivor . I wasn't happy with my selection of wood , cedar and pine , so I thought I'd try something different . I used my propane torch to give it a different look . It has a clear varathane finish . I've included a before and after picture .It was a very interesting project .
Thanks Janette for the experience.
