Chunkthekid Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) I am starting my first Intarsia project and ordered some wood from Ocooch Hardwoods(thanks for the advice, Village) I finished the patterns I had left and was stuck on what I wanted to do next while I waited for it to show up. So my wife comes out, has me cut her a piece of 1/4 poplar, and disappears back into the house for 20 minutes. Out comes this tree she burnt into the wood. She thought she screwed up by making the limbs too narrow but I thought it was perfect. Now she is excited to keep burning me projects to cut, and I'm excited to have my own little designer! I will add a pic of the finished project. It might take awhile because my intarsia wood is showing up today and I'm very anxious to get started.
