Koala Intarsia

I have to go buy some plywood for a backer tomorrow so I haven't lacquered this yet but I figured I'd post it anyway since I've nothing better to do...  This pattern is by Judy Gale Roberts... I used Maple, Poplar, Walnut, Red Oak, White Oak and Cherry...

 I haven't gotten the nerve up yet to try Intarsia.

Well, you're in the same boat as every intarsia artist ever in existence until they started...  Pick you out a beginner pattern, get some cheaper wood like pine or cedar and give it a shot...  You never know;  you could be the next Judy Gale Roberts... ;)  I was on the fence about it at first too... I was very critical of myself and my projects but other intarsia looked so darn amazing to me that I had to keep at it... I still have MUCH to learn but I'm hanging in there...  I like that there are not many holes to drill... lol

Thanks Greg. Maybe I'll give it a try down the road.
