I used Bloodwood, Black Walnut and Myrtle. The Myrtle I am not sure about but the friend who gave it to me called it that and said it came from the Pacific NW. His son is a woodworker who lives in Oregon and that is where it came from. I was not overly happy with the natural colors and enhanced them all. I used a red dye on the Bloodwood to make it a little redder. And I ebonized the Walnut to make it a little blacker. I bleached the Myrtle for the beard and trim pieces to make it whiter. And I used a very light coat of brown dye on Myrtle for the nose. So the purists can complain that it is not real intarsia, but I am happy with the end effect.
