Popular Post heppnerguy Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I have been away from most of my intarsia making projects and decided to try and make a few of the patterns I have had around for awhile. In doing so I found a photo of this one somewhere on line and downloaded the photo and attempted to make a pattern from it and cut make it, as i sort of liked the little guy. Here is what I ended up with. The one thing I added to the wood to get what I wanted from it was the multiple little lines on the owls body by simply using a wood burning too to make them. I have never tried that before and thought it worked fairly well this time. Dick heppnerguy Tbow388, danny, JessL and 15 others 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Well done, Dick. Owls are always popular, Everytime I go out side in the dark, the owls are hooting like crazy. Seems like there are getting more and more of them in our area. I wish the little burrowing owls would come back. Unfortunately they are no longer to be found in our area. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to find the pattern and making one from a photo, decreased the final project's quality as I was unable to see some of the details in the photo and had to wing it Dick heppnerguy danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to find the pattern and purchase it but but was unable to do so and I had to make me a pattern as best as I could so some of the detail was unavailable to me. I lost a good view of all parts and did the best I could to make a pattern. Dick heppnerguy FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the little burrowing owls would come back. Unfortunately they are no longer to be found in our area. When I first moved to Arizona I saw an owl almost every morning when I walked the neighborhood, but for the past couple of years I see nor here then no longer. I am not sure why that it but I really enjoyed them ask WHO I was as I walked by Dick heppnerguy Scrappile and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like how you found a particular part that stood out to you. I often get some of the same feelings as I look at someone's projects.

Dak0ta52 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Fantastic job, Dick. I haven't tried intarsia yet. Been busy with commissions. At least that's paying for the wood for my hobby. danny and heppnerguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to push for sales but now I just post what I do and sometimes get a sale on an item. Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
