Clayton717 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Here is my latest intarsia. This was a custom order for a member on another forum. This is his company logo. He posted the logo to be made into a scrolling pattern, and asked if someone would make an intarsia project out of it. I reworked the original pic a little to come up with the pattern I used for it. The turkey is abot 13"x 10". It's made from aspen- eyes & tooth, aromatic cedar- eyebrows neck and tips of tail feathers, cherry- face and tail feathers, poplar- shovel head, paduak- shovel handle, walnut- body and wings, wenge- handle head and claws, yellowheart- beak legs feet and hardhat.

Clayton717 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 The customer recieved it tonight. He called me to tell me he loved it, said he was going to send an email but had to tell me personally. His wife absolutely loved it. He wants another one made soon but a little bigger.

susieq4131 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Clayton, What a great job! You have intarsia down to a fine science! Beautiful job! At this time of year, a turkey might want to be packing a gun. lol SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 thanks for the comments Susie. My friend I showed it to before I sent it to the customer said the same thing about a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Great turkey. I was just thinking that he looks as if he is trying to escape from Thanksgiving. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
