Great job on that Dick. I'm trying to figure out how you did it.. 

It really is not difficult. I have made another pattern that I am going to try next.  I love how they come out and my next hopefully will be a lot better then the first one.

I admit to not being the brightest bulb in the bunch. So, with that said, what exactly is the technique you are referring to? I am not artistic in the least so I'm not picking up on what it is you are talking about. I see a very well done piece but I'm not sure what it is that you are calling "technique". Can you please enlighten me. I am humbled by your work.

To put a name on it, I think the bird is what they call segmentation, with the mountain as fretwork

this is the best explanation of segmentation vs intarsia I have found, if I am correct of course

Ray,  It is simply a segmentation but you use the outlining and cut out the insides of the pattern. Then you place the inside pieces that you have cut back inside the lines they were cut from. So you see, you are utilizing the outlining that forms all this pieces and painting it black with canned spray paint. You paint the inside pieces in the same manner before replacing them into the outlined black piece. you glue the outline to your backer board and then when it dries you simply re-insert them where they were cut from originally. when all the glued pieces are dry you can then put on whatever finish you like. If this does not explain it well enough, let me know and I will try to figure out how to explain it a little better

Yes it is segmentation but the difference in what I am trying to do is this. A good representation of segmentation would be to cut on the outlines of each piece of a puzzle and then putting the puzzle together. Because it is cut from one piece of wood, everything fits perfectly no matter what the shapes are. The difference in what I am trying to do in my above plaque is not cut the pattern outline but rather cut on either side of the pattern lines and keeping the outline in tact as one piece, Then, not put the segmented pieces together with one another but rather putting them back into the middle of the outlines from whence they came. So that makes the rather heavy looking lines in my above piece. With straight segmentation one is merely using the outlines as a guide and the outline is never seen again. On mine, I am saving the outline by cutting each piece on the 'inside and outside' of the lines and keeping the guide lines as a frame in which to replace my pattern pieces.
