Clayton717 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Here is my latest intarsia. A leaping trout. woods used are starting from the top - walnut, yellow poplar, curly maple, paduak, aspen, the fins are butternut, around the eye is yellowheart and inside the mouth is wenge. The pattern is from www.intarsiadesigns.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 ok ,ok this is the third time i lost this post,wow,full pagers too.where was i .Mr. Clayton, sir,this fish that you have done right off the bat deserves 3 blue ribbons to start.I have never seen quality such as you have demonstrated on this infamous fish. To start with it is in bowling alley floor condition,smooth as glass,seams so tight, glue has no business between them.Colors beyond the norm arranged perfectly shaded to real life. this ones good enough to eat(pressure cooked ) lol.This trout should set the standards for all intarsis to come.I can see that it's going to be real hard to let go of this one .This is museum art.fine art.You got the cat by the tail on this one !Fabulous great job!

Clayton717 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 thanks Kevin. The woods used are all natural colors, that why I love doing intarsia. It lets the beauty of the wood show. There will never be two alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
