Beginning woodworking intarsia

| |
Intarsia has always fascinated me and Ive been meaning to try it out for years. I like the artistic nature of it and the limitless possibilities of "painting" with wood.
I want to thank everyone over on my Facebook page this week who helped me out with all sorts of tips and hints. Especially Steve Carmichael who had recently attended an intarsia class and sent me the notes he took.
I found the process to be pretty simple, but a lot of work. Plan on a lot of time sawing and sanding. If you would like to try out my scarecrow, download the pattern here. Mostly, try to cut exactly on the lines and take it very slowly with your scroll saw.
