Fab4 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Doc: Try Hunting...............lol sorry, I couldn't resist My take on this: Round off the pieces some more A bit more contrast in the wood, especially the spine (center) piece It's not really that bad, at least it looks like a fish What wood did you use for this? Thanks for showing us Fab4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docupton Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks Fab, It was made from the lid of a wooden bread bin, a wood called rubber wood Fab4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 good one..I too would try to round it out a little. maybe raise the center of the fish and taper to the head, sides and tail a little more. It looks to me that you should use a little thicker wood,if you have it,, 3/4 minimum for intarsia. I love the wood color and the pattern. The more realism the better. Keep up the good work..You are certainly on the right track.. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
