wombatie Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Well here it is my very first Intarsia project. Can't say it was easy because I only had my Dremil to do the shaping with but alll in all I am quite pleased with it. There is a slight gap between the bottom fin and the bottom of the beak and the body, it looks worse on the photo than it actually is. I had to use thinner wood than Dick suggested because I didn't have enough of that size. I have used two different woods but they are both Blackhearted Sassafras but on the photo the colors look the same. Would I do another.....yes I think I would, if it was up to my husband I would be doing a motor bike the same as Lee did but I told him that is way out of my league maybe in 20 years time I'll be up for that. Like I said before this is my year for doing new things on the scroll saw, so between doing orders I will be doing other things so stay tuned you never know whats coming next. Dick I hope I made you proud, if not I'm sorry Marg PS. I didn't want to put this into Intarsia/Segmentation because those guys do it so much better.

DWSUDEKUM Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Marg do not sell yourself short. That came out great. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Marg. You got my buttons popping. You did a grand job. I hope it opens up a lot of new efforts for you in the very near future.. You are right about not jumping too fast but with a couple more on the easier side everything will become easier for you and you will be ready to tackle that motorcycle before you know it. I am so glad you did this. Now tell the others who are holding back, that it is not too difficult for them, as they seem to think that it is. I will PM you about another pattern for you to try Dick heppnerguy wombatie 1 Quote
Fishman Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Came out great! I wouldn't of even guessed it was your first one. You have inspired me to give it a go when I get the time. I've always wanted to try one of these. Ever since I joined this site my to-do list has grown. So much inspiration and encouragement here. If only I could just scroll all day and didn't have to work.... well, I still probably wouldn't even catch up on things I want to make.

Clayton717 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Looks great Marg. I spend most of my time doing intarsia, it's what I enjoy the most. I done that motorcycle too, it was a little challenge. The more you do the better you will become. I'm happy to see you finally took the chance on intarsia. wombatie 1 Quote
ike Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Good Job that is just an unauthorized engineering change It must be a female because it's mouth is open like it is always talking. Good work wombatie 1 Quote
Around the corner Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Very nice looks very real can't wait till you show us something else wombatie 1 Quote
wombatie Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks everyone. I won't say it was a barrel of laughs to do because I was frightened that I would mess up, but I must admit I like the feeling when I was putting it together. It's just a case of saying OK lets do it and doing it. The more you put it off the scarier it becomes. GIVE IT A GO WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE. Marg Quote
woodduck Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Looks good Marg makes me want to give it a go ,Its only fear that holds me back,one day I will get the courage to give it a go. wombatie 1 Quote

Hey Marg, stop dumbing yourself down, that's a lovely piece of work. You said you were going to do an intarsia one day, and you did, superbly. So stick your chest out ( maybe I shouldn't have said that ), and be proud of your work. Well done Marg. Rob Roy. wombatie 1 Quote
wombatie Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Posted March 6, 2015 Looks good Marg makes me want to give it a go ,Its only fear that holds me back,one day I will get the courage to give it a go. Peter you do surprise me. All of those great segmentation pieces that you have done and the fabulous air gun painting and you are scared of a little Intarsia. Give it a go my friend, try the dolphin, if I can do it just using a Dremil then I am sure you can do it. Marg Quote
ChelCass Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Beautiful Marg. Can't wait to see what you do next. Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 That a girl, Marg.. I love that you found it not that hard and I hope to see another intarsia from the woman down under, within 2 weeks.. Dick heppnerguy Quote
