My first sorta intarsia project

[Dennisfm56]

I say sorta intarsia as it was cut from the same piece of cheap pine. I did cut the light pieces from a different part of the same board as the dark to see how well I could match up. Used 2 different shades of danish oil for coloring.  Learned a lot, especially that while I can cut to a line pretty well, I for sure can't draw one with a woodburning tool. Comments welcome.

Looks great.  I have to get around to doing that one as well.  I think I have printed it a few times now.

Don't discount your efforts. You did well on the grain direction. I've seen Judy Robert's do a project with nothing but western red cedar.

Looks pretty good to me even if it is from the same piece of wood.  Nice job cutting looking at the grain to see how it should look. I have no desire to try intarsia, but maybe one day.

That is the first intarsia I cut, back in 1996, from a pattern in Scroll Saw Woodworks and Crafts.  I cut it entirely from western red cedar.  Looks like you did a good job on it.

Your grain choices worked perfectly from what I can see.  Very nice.

Nice piece. I tried my first  intarsia many years ago before I even had a scroll saw, just to see if I could do it. I used my band saw and different shades of  cedar and was surprised that I was able to do it. I drew a pattern of a dolphin that had only 7 pieces to it.  Way to go. you probably will be making a lot more intarsia items in your future.
