Sort of intarsia - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

JohnB · 08-17-2009, 11:43 AM

G'day all,
I mentioned this on the chat the other day.
My sort of intarsia before I new what Intarsia was.

My daughter used to play "Dungeons and Dragons" type Role Play Games and I made this for a trophy to be used by the club.
Apparently they put it up for grabs at an inter club tournament and it was was won by a Perth Club, never to be seen here in Kal. again. I understand it is on display in Perth at one of the Game Shops.

Sorry about the pic Quality but it was taken prior to digital, you know one of them old fangled things you had put the black cellulose type stuff in.
The first Pic is the more true colours, Burgundy back ground.

Common John - admit it, this was a self portrait!
Another great project mate

Now why is it i have no difficulty in believing that you could go in for role playing?

The answer is quite simple. Underneath your tom foolery and jesting and that trademark hat you almost manage to hide the fact that you sure are a multi-faceted helluva talented guy!

Just one burning question mate- do you actually go in for line dancing with the country music - Yes or No? - ROTFLMAO

Guilty here! Of line dancing that is!

Nice job John.

Thanks all,
Sorry I hadn't replied earlier, but this post just kept on slipping below the radar.
This was fun to make.
I also made a "Chain Sword" as another trophy but never took any pics, must have run out of film

Bob will know what I'm talking about.
Was cleaning up the patio the other day and came across a box of hundreds of the little characters that they use for these games.
Asked the daughter what she wanted doing with them and she said she wanted to sell them.
That's a shame because they cost her a small fortune, so she said, I thought they were just little metal soldiers and was going to dump them OOOOOOOOOps

I've already answered Jim's query in a chat, No I don't Line Dance, because with two left feet, I'm better of going around in circles, so a Waltz, Quick Step, Slow rhythm is more my cup of tea.
