Big Book of Intarsia Woodworking

Offert en anglais seulement

The art of intarsia offers the ability to design beautiful scenes and portraits using inlaid and segmented woods of various color, size and depth. The result is a mosaic that is as beautiful to touch as it is to look at.

From the editors of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine, this book features 37 shop-tested and approved scroll saw patterns of everything from seasonal flowers to stunning animal portraits. Intarsia projects and patterns are from some of the best designers working with scroll saw, including Nick Berchtold, Carol and Homer Bishop, Susan Mathis, Neal Moore, Judy Gale Roberts, Dennis Simmons, Diana Thompson, Kathy Wise and many others.

This guide will help woodworkers sharpen their skills with six technique articles, including how to design patterns, selecting wood, creating stunning effects with wood grain, adding color and creating a custom frame. Patterns include a beautiful magnolia door topper, a serene seaside scene, a wintery bird and berry wreath, a summery sunflower wreath, spring bunnies, an adorable puppy in a basket, a toucan mosaic trinket box, a majestic Arabian horse, a spirited colt, a bobcat resting on rocks and a gorgeous elephant portrait.
