Clayton717 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is part one of two intarsia projects that have been ordered. It's all complete just need to apply the finish, but I'm waiting until I get the second one finished(a woman golfer). The pattern is by Judy Roberts. wood used was, quarter sawn sycamore, aspen, bass, walnut, elm, and maple. I will post another picture of when I get the finish put on. lawson56, bobscroll and Bishop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Way to go Clayton, you did an outstanding job of picking just the right pieces of wood. Then to match them up as well as you did, should make you feel proud of your work and deserving of any praise you get for it.

jamminjack Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Very nicely done. If it looks that good now, imagine what it will look like with the finish. I too am finally getting off the fence. I ordered some intarsia pieces yesterday. Two from Kathy Wise, and a couple from Judy Gale. I have been back and forth for years about doing intarsia. Well better late than never. Once again thanks for sharing, and looking forward to seeing more of your work. Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penquin Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 That is one good looking cutting. Well done. You did a great job on all the lines and wrinkles in the clothing. Thanks for showing it to us. jim penquin Clayton717 and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can't wait to see them finished. Great work. Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Looks like around 80+ pieces.That's a big job keeping track of right side up, backwards etc. ,and all else that can mess up a great project.I mark the underside of the pieces which saves some time remembering the correct position of the piece.You know your going to drop one or two or have it fly out of your fingers sanding or Dremiling.This is a master piece done by the master intarsist! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always afraid to try it, but once I did I got hooked. Now several years later it is my favorite thing to do in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
