1st attempt at Intarsia

[coullion]

Well, here is my first attempt at Intarsia. I liked the one Clayton did and decided to give it a try.

Woods used are:

Aromatic Cedar (toothbrush handle)

Bubinga (inside of mouth)

Redwood (eye)

Purpleheart (tongue)

Maple (everything else)

 

Made it for my dentist for a Christmas present. Pattern was found at Intarsiadesigns.com and was designed by Newton R. Ferguson.

 

I think it came out pretty good (although I see the problems with it ) Let me know what you think!

 

Thanks,

Todd

I would not be giving that away for love nor money.  I would be so proud of it I would give it pride of place at home and tell everyone that walked through the door  "LOOK WHAT I MADE"  Excellent work.

Thanks guys...I liked the outcome, but it IS a lot of work. I learned a lot about how to do things better next time.

Excellent work! I agree with you, it is a lot of work but if you have the right sanders(Contouring)  becomes easy. I have been trying to make a homemade soft sander for a long time to give this beautiful art form a try- 

thanks
