Clayton717 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 This long weekend I've had quite a bit of shop time and have gotten several projects done. This is one a standing bear. It's cut from walnut with wenge claws and cottonwood around the eye. It needs sanded agian and another coat of poly. Then off to the customer.I have another one that I will post later tonight or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton717 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Thanks Guys. Jim there are several books that give tips and how to's. Check out Judy Gale Roberts website (http://intarsia.com/). she has lots of great pattern and books. I got a couple books from the library when I was just getting into it. another to look for are books by Kathy Wise. Some of these books will have patterns as well as instructions. I started with a simple project(praying hands by JGR) to see if I would like intarsia and have been hooked ever since. There are a few others on the web, one has an ebook on intarsia but can't remember the site. If I do I will post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
