My first attempt at intarsia

[James E. Welch]

 I gave intarsia a try. It's not perfect but I had fun.

Welcome to the world of Intarsia James! Great job.

There are quite a few designers that have outstanding patterns.  This will keep you busy at the saw for sure!

What I like about our scrollsaw "hobby"... passion... Is that it is so varied.  I can do puzzles today, toy cars the next, intarsia the following day, and stay occupied for weeks, then do some Welsh Love Spoons (yup, YOU got me addicted to those!), then switch to intricate fretwork, and look up and the weekend has passed by.

No way we could get bored with this.

Though I took four days off from my FT job at NATO for the long weekend and ended up spending 10+ hours a day in my workshop!!

Great job and the wood is spot on!  My first intarsia is setting waiting for me to get back to it.

Oh wow, I love it.  Love the woods you chose especially for the wings.  Keep up the great work.
