I had nothing but problems from the get go Shaping, fitting you name it I have to give kudos to all of you who have the patience and skill to do these Last one for me The pic got a bit washed out from the clear coat.

That looks great for a first,nothings easy.Remember how much you wanted to be able to ride a biycycle,and nothing would stop you,shinned knees ripped elbows .But once you know how it's a piece of cake.Everything is like that. I never wanted to do intarsia ,but after the second one ,i'm addicted bad.Can't stop,Won't stop,I got bit bad.

looks good for your first one. looks like you combined segmentation with intarsia. Don't stop it will get a little easier. Or try segmentation, its like intarsia without as much shaping. it's ussually cut from one piece of wood and colored to make the picture.

Thanks for the encouragement. I think for the time being I'll stick to fretwork/portraits. I have plenty of patterns to work on.
