Popular Post heppnerguy Posted June 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Several years ago a person contacted my with a request to make this same intarsia project for her to give to her church pastor who was retiring. All she had was a photo of it and had no idea where I might find the pattern to purchase one. I could not locate the maker of the pattern so I ended up using Inkscape to make one. I was fairly new at scroll saw projects but gave it a go and was able to get the project done. It came our fairly well and all were happy with it. I never attempted to make another but I had taken a photo of it for a memory of some of the things I have made through my new hobby. 3 days ago a local friend came to my house to ask me to make a cross for another local friend. I showed his some of my crosses and he choose the one he wanted for her. I happen to remember a few photos I had laying on a shelf of earlier projects and showed them to him, just because they were of some of my first ever projects. He ran across this one and changed his mind and ask if I would make it instead of the cross. I said I was willing to give it a try but I did not know if I could still find the pattern I made but I had the photo so I figured if I could not find the previous pattern I would make another. So I was able to find the pattern but it was really small. I was able to adjust it to the size I was after and here are the results.

It was rather interesting to try and get everything in the perspective I was looking for. I just happed to have the almost perfect wood on hand for this project, at least the colors I was looking for except for the circular frame that I ended up painting some pine.

Thank you very much/ I quickly understood when you joined up, I believe you stated that you were just learning the scroll saw, if I remember correctly, and after a really short time it came quite apparent to me that you know more about wood working then I will ever know. You really amazed me. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy Dick, you are so sweet to say that...I am just learning...I kind of just make things up as I go along...sometimes they turn out okay and other times not so much...but if we don't try, how would we ever know? Thank you again for your kind words. You do amazing work! heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Well done, Dick, It reminds me of Garnet Hall style intarsia but, I could not find any like this on his site.
