Another attempt at an Intarsia project.  For a detailed write up see my post in the Intarsia/Segmentation furum.

Comments and critiques always welcome.

WOW Frank.  You are going gung-ho over this Intarsia stuff.  This one is simply amazing.  You knocked this one out of the park.

The King is dead....Long live the king!

This type of Scroll Saw Art is quite enjoyable and satisfiying to do.  However, the cutting is very simple as long as you can stay exactly on the line 'twice".  All the real work is in the shaping, sanding and finishing. But at least I don't have to make a Frame!!!!!!

Intarsia has been a welcome break, but I realy got to get back to cutting a nice 600+ hole art panel and my coloring with my Air Brush!

Thanks for the nice comment.

One piece at a time!

I'm no expert by any means, but I find the accuracy of cutting of the various pieces is key to a good fit-up.  You really need to be able to cut the same line exactly the same -  twice.   Once you have a good fit-up, the shaping and sanding is easy fun part.

Wow Frank, that is certainly impressive!
