I created a scrollable 12” X 12”, and a slightly smaller 10” X 10” version, Intarsia Pattern by adapting and modifying a Stained-Glass Pattern titled Hummer, that had been offered free from a now defunct website http://www.designglass.com. Wood used for my 12”x12” version shown: Basswood, Mango, Osage Orange, Padauk, Poplar (with a little green dye help), Sapele, Wenge, Walnut, and Yellowheart. Backer 1/8” thick BB Ply. Finished with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray. As always, comments and critiques allways Wlecome. I will share the patterns in Pattern Exchange.

I utilized a downloaded non-copyrighted image from Susan Kinsella’s Art website, entitled “Under the Passing Clouds”, to create a nominal 10.5x16.5-inch Intarsia pattern. I set my interpretation into an oval frame and chose to make the sky red-toned in lieu of stormy dark blue/grey as in the original image. Wood used: Basswood, Black Limba, Canarywood, Cherry, Red Oak, Roasted Flame Birch, Walnut, Wenge and Yellowheart. I feel my choice of the medium dark wood I used for the boat reflection was a little too dark. Backer is 1/8” thick BB Ply. The assembled panel was finished with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Wanting to add to my collection of Nautical themed Intarsia pieces, I purchased this Steve Bundred Dolphin Family Pattern from his Website https://fantasticwoodworking.com. Very detailed pattern filled with lots of instructions but also filled with many errors. I followed the pattern but not all the instructions, and that was a mistake. His suggestions were there for a reason, and I only realized that after it was completed. My finished piece is not quite what it could/should have been. My wood choices: Basswood, Sapele, Black Limba and Monkey Pod. Sharpie Black eyes. Backer is 1/8” BB ply with edges painted Black. Protected with multiple coats of Clear Satin Acrylic Finish Spray. Comments and critiques allways welcome.

This is a pattern by Steve Shears @Wood Logos Studio. He was the sponsor of last month's PAM project (FB). Although my project didn't "win" Steve generously gave all entries a couple of patterns. Woods used: Orange Osage, Spruce, Aspen, Canarywood, Quilted Maple, Wenge, Aromatic Cedar and the tip of a white pencil crayon. Finished with one coat of Osmo satin. I may mount it on a slab of Elm.

This is a quick pattern to do. I had one at my last show that sold, yeah! Got this one done for the next show. Woods used: Pink Maple, Maple, Aspen, White Oak. Finish is one coat of Walrus Oil.

Got a couple more finished. The mouse is a Janette Square design. Woods used Walnut, Wenge, Aspen and Spanish Cedar. The snowglobe was designed by Lori Jenks. Woods used Maple, Cherry, Poplar, Aspen, Elm. I ended up taking off the "glitter", couldn't get it to stick on. Third photo is the final of the snowglobe. I used a paint pen to put on the silver dots. Both were very quick and easy patterns.

Well, here it is. I am very happy with this one! Woods used - Purple Heart, Butternut, White Limba, Yellowheart, Canary Wood, Wenge, Aromatic Cedar, Orange Osage, Zebra wood, Cherry & reclaimed Elm. Cut with #5 MG blades. Finish is mineral oi/beeswax mixture & buffed. This will be heading to my niece - the one that grabbed me the purple heart- for her birthday at the end of the month. Everything for it seemed to fall into place. Her getting me the wood. It is an owl and she loves owls. It is her 30th!

This is my latest Intarsia piece. Pattern found in the issue # 54 of Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine, designer Gary MacKay. Woods used Tigerwood, Maple, Canarywood, Quilted Maple, Sapelle. One generous coat of shellac. Used many #5 MG blades.

Got this finished today. You can see the progress in "works in progress". Finished with three coats of shellac. I wouldn't normally show the back but I love the grain!!

Finished another intarsia piece. I am so glad that patterns are just suggestions!!! This pattern came from the SSWC #71. This is mostly poplar. The eye has some walnut & two other mystery woods. The lips are two separate mystery woods. Finished with one coat of shellac then topped with the beeswax butter! The Poplar is from the stuff I bought this spring and had cupped. The tips of the moon are on the cupped edge, but I thought it worked with the moon. I really liked the grey markings in the wood.

I had a nice, puttering day in the shop today. Worked on the glue up of my first multi-wood intarsia piece. I have reduced the pattern for this. Pattern designer is Janette Square. Used Poplar, Rainbow Poplar, Sapelle, Maple for the plant. Searched for wood to make a frame. Have that cut and glued. While all that was going on, did a fun little project. Thank you Steve Good! Frog is cut from Poplar and glued to a pine cookie left from a Christmas tree a number of years ago. Still needs the finish. Then I started another project. The wood is Cherry. Pattern by H Botas. What you are seeing is the back of it. Using #1 spiral blades. Thought of you @FrankEV while I was cutting. Turned the speed down on the saw and tried to keep a light touch.

When I was at my daughter's place, I noticed that their stockings were just being hung on a picture hook. Mom to the rescue!!! This is a Kathy Wise design that showed up in my FB feed recently. I cut this as segmentation from one piece of reclaimed elm, from our city's canopy. It is a little more than 1" thick. Used a(many) #7 Precision skip blade(s). Colour provided by watered down Unicorn Spit. There is one major cutting error that I turned into a design choice. This is just waiting for the Osmo satin finish to dry.

Hey Everyone! In this fun scroll saw project video, we make this Small Intarsia Mummy to get into the spooky season! This is my very first Intarsia Video and the project comes from the latest (fall) issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking Crafts Magazine by Fox Chapel Publishing. Hope you all like the video! #artisanPirate -
This is my first intarsia, my second and my third. By that I mean every piece was cut at least twice, some three times and some I just said good enough. Lots of errors, but I enjoyed the trip. Well be doing more in the future, time allowing. Made this for my Granddaughter, a nurse at Providence Hospital in Portland, Ore. She is doing very well for herself. Less than a year there and they have already asked her to be a Charge Nurse. Not real sure what that means but sounds good. Needless to say, Grandpa is very proud of her. The snakes and feathers are Canary wood, the upright, inlay and backer boarder is Black Walnut and the light brown is Monkey Pod. The white pieces are casein, which is a product made from milk protien. It is beautiful makes great pens. I put a picture here so you can see what it look like.

Sighting of the first robin of the season. Not sure of the wood. Cut with a #1 blade. Acrylic paints. Frame is a gel stain - don't remember the colour. Complete finish with Walrus Oil. Definitely some errors, but only I know about them. You can see the progress in the Works in Progess section. @heppnerguy- this was done over a couple of weeks, just so ya know!

Another piece done this year! Don't remember the wood. Cut with #3 FD full reverse. Finished with the beeswax/mineral oil "butter".

Here is my attempt at an intarsia project. I have done segmentation but this was "technically" intarsia, even though it was cut from the same wood. The wood is black ash, which I received from a friend - it was in his burn bin!! The wood is about 3/4" thick. Used a Flying Dutchman #3 full reverse. Finished with the Beeswax "Butter" that I got as a hostess gift. It is not completely finished. I want to put another coat or two of the wax on and then I have to attach the backer, but I thought is was close enough to post here. There are certainly "happy accidents" but if you can't see them I won't tell you where they are!!! I love the grain of the wood and thought it lent itself well to the project. Comments & critiques are welcome.

This project combined four steps. If you would like more information about any of these steps, let me know. 1. Make an octagonal frame and background. 2. Prepare a pattern for an eagle. 3. Make a wooden eagle to fit the octagonal frame. Dimensions of this eagle: 8.5" wide, 3.75" high. 4. Wood burn a verse onto the background. Glue eagle and frame to the background. I also added a sawtooth hanger to the back of the frame.

This is an intarsia horse I made for a grand daughter. I used a pattern from Kathy Wise' book, Intarsia - Woodworking for Beginners. Overall dimensions: 13" wide by 14.5" high. Wood used: walnut for mane cherry for head and neck wenge for eye, nostril and mouth I also used a medium brown wood but I do not know the name of that wood. Here are some photos taken while building this horse. *** Pattern still applied. First cut done except for pieces to be cut from wenge. I had a lot of trouble with the eye area. Had to cut that section twice. Cutting done and some sanding done. For sanding, I used belt sander and found it left some flat marks. Using a sanding mop removed the flat sections and showed contours much better. Ready for top coat.
