Nice work. WARNING.............Intarsia is addictive. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On these first two attemps I found the Scroll Saw cutting to be easy-peasy. The shaping work takes much more time to do well. Working with the very small pieces. like the thorns on the Rose stem, is a stiff PITA. Also, being able to visulize the image is very important. I can also see where, if trying to be true to an image, wood color choices can be daunting. Yes, it is more relaxing than cutting a 700 hole Art panel and I don't have to make a frame to mount the panel into. However, I don't get to use my Air Brush to add color, which is a skill I'm trying to improve on. Not too sure if I will get addicted to doing Intarsia, but I can see developng some of my own patterns and doing the work along with my other work. I do need a break now and then from the Art Panel work that I do. BTW I'm curious, if you were to do this piece, what would your wood choices be?

I have done roses in Cedar, aspen, canary and padauk. There are lots of different color roses.
