Gift for Dad...need ideas!!

[Brian]

So my dad is turning 60. He is loves to fish in his free time and is an accountant in his...not free time I would love to make an intarsia gift for him but just cant seem to find a good plan.

 

Does anyone have any good ideas?

 

I have seen the couple walleye patterns on sawbird.com and another site, but those just dont seem right to me.

 

I would be open to creating a scrolled scene of something...but i'm having trouble.

 

Thanks for your help!

Brian,

I've done an intarsia of a trout. It was added to one of my eagle intarsias. Here's a link to the picture of my completed project. fresh catch I am working on it by itself. I made a little smaller than original for use with the eagle.

I got the pattern here, http://www.intarsiadesigns.com/intarsia ... imals.html. Scroll down on the left and look for the leaping trout.

You can download patterns from here instantly once paid. Hope this helps a little.

Found a great site: intarsia.com. featured in scrollsaw magazine with the bear pattern. I ordered 4 patterns from them.
