First try at Intarsia - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

bstark · 05-30-2012, 03:29 AM

My very first try at intarsia. Just noticed I left a fin off... and forgot a blow hole... but what they heck... at least it doesn't blow I guess.

Had a change to meet Janette's and see some of her fine craftmanship first hand at Yachats Oregon this weekend... and boy was it impressive! The detail was amazing. Definitely intrigued by intarsia even though I have only been scrolling a few weeks. Not sure what I want to focus on yet by intarsia is definitely on the list.

Hi Brad - looks like our intarsia diva has reeled another one over to 'the dark side'.

Welcome to the club with a great first attempt. As to the missing bits. You'll soon learn that if you don't tell folks who are not familiar with intarsia about these slight errors they will never know you made a mistake.

Hope to see more of your work in the future and if you need any help or advice drop a post in this section.

Congratulations!
