Intarsia is an art form that creates pictures using colours and grains in wood.

The pieces are cut on a scroll saw (some people use a bandsaw)
and are put together like assembling a jig saw puzzle.

Some of my Intarsia Attempts

	This is my first attempt at doing a portrait in Intarsia. This is a picture of my grand-niece and the pattern was taken from a school picture. The oval is 10" wide and 12 ½" high.
The pattern for this picture of the Canada Geese was taken from a stain glass pattern book. Finished size is 16"W x 15 ½"H (That size includes the 1" wide walnut frame)
	This butterfly was designed from a graphic from Corel clipart. Finished size is 16"W x 13"H
I like to think of this little guy as an ex-skier! This is also a piece of clip art from Corel. The little guy is 10" wide (at the feet) and 10" high.
