Popular Post heppnerguy Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 This pattern is a JGR pattern that I purchased a few months ago and finally got around to cutting it. It took me 3 days to make and I added a little bit of texture for added interest, as I usually haven't done that because I thought I did not have the tools neccesary to do it. I finally tried to add the texture using my Dremel and it worked fairly well. I used several kinds of woods, It isn't perfect but i am glad to be at least making an effort to get back to doing some of them.

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.

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 Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Dick heppnerguy MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Dick heppnerguy namunolie and Dak0ta52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 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. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
