Looks good texturing looks goog also.

thank you. I used to do quite a bit of intarsia but never had the money to purchase much in the way of wood so my work was not as nice as it could have been but                because most of my family and friends was not in touch with the true artists of intarsia they continue to enjoy the projects I made for them in the past.

But, but... the beaver is ruining good intarsia wood!!!  How could you!?!?!?!

🤣

 

I am not ruining the wood, with winter coming I am going to have to have wood for the fireplace and I don't want to be a 'plain Jane' so I thought I would make some decorative firewood this time.. See I do look ahead and I save the sawdust for an easy start on making my fire too

The texturing makes the beaver look alive. Very nice. That Dremel tool comes in handy for a lot of things. Very nice Dick, very nice.

Thank you so much. I am digging out the Dremel tool to see if I can learn to spruce things up just a little. I guess it is sort of working

Dick, excellent!  Love the Beaver....hope the weather is treating you kindly now that Fall is here. :)

Yes Marcie the weather is getting better. It has been in the mid 60's at 5:30 when I go for my walk and now it has dropped to the low 100's but double digits are in the forecast for next weekend. Glad you enjoyed my latest intarsia effort

Another awesome piece, Dick.

I haven't  your talent but I still enjoy trying to do a little better as time goes by. A little more difficult as I get older but I am not giving up yet, not at only 83 years old, anyway

Great job! I love beavers. I used to fish in a pond with lots of them and they’d slap the water with their tails right next to my boat and make me jump. 😁 Love how you did the textures plus the wood grain is awesome. 

Thank you so much for the really nice comments. I am pretty happy with it.. It is not perfect but over all it is fine with me. I love your beaver story. I am originally from Oregon and Oregon is "the beaver state"

That is fantastic Dick.  The texture looks great.

Thank you. I am glad you like the textures as it is now becoming one of my 'learning to master better' items with my scrolling projects. I am also working on trying to learn about colorizing some of my projects it hopes of making my work a little more interesting. Both are learning things. Time will tell if I really have caught on or not

Great job, Dick.  I still have not finished sanding the pieces on my first real intarsia project.  Maybe someday I will get back to it.. Wait,  I maybe running out of somedays.  Guess I need to work harder.

 You the master of all. You may have a few unfinished items but you always end of master of all you attempt. After all you are my 'Try to imitate ' person, if I ever want to come close to pleasing myself with my work projects
