After close to two months I'm finally done. Its pretty much my first real intarsia project.

Great work Ben, Although I must say, I hate it when the back of someones project looks better than the front of mine!

Hey Ben! . Your macaw turned out really well and for a first attempt you should be more than proud. I also have to agree with Ed. Superb finish on the backside, a mark of true craftsmanship, and that plaque is a really neat touch

Very well done!

An outstanding looking Macaw. It's a super job for you first intarsia project, it looks to me like you been doing them for years and years. I hope that some day when I take on such a project it will look half as good as yours. Thanks for sharing it wiht us.

Ben that turned out awesome. Like I said in the WIP thread, at first I didn't think the blue would look as good as it did, but it looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing the thread and for shring the finished product.

Ben - your macaw turned out really great! Shaping, color selection - all of it came together very nicely. Excellent job on the back as well.
