Does anyone know what happened to Intarsia92? I only know that his first name was Al. He is an incredible Intarsia artist and was just curious if he was still creating. Thank you!

Thanks Al! Your words are the best compliment I could ask for since I have long admired  all your work. You have just made my day!

I made this Intarsia from a pattern designed by Christine & Wayne Prinn. It's a modified version of their original. I hope you like it.

Your attention to detail is truly amazing. I never get tired of seeing your work. It's like being in an art gallery.

I created this plaque from my first attempt at making a pattern using Inkscape. Please ignore the fox intarsia he just happens to be occupying the same wall space.

Everything you've ever posted has a professional look to it. You are a hard act to follow!

Dw, I modeled the project based on a picture I saw on Pinterest. I used CAD design to create the scroll work to my own personal taste and then was able to produce the patterns. I did, however, use my wood lathe to turn the spindles on the front. The back (not visible) contains a barn door style window which gives me access to the inside for cleaning.

So, I guess you could say the picture provided the inspiration, but the design is mine. Thanks for asking!

I wasn't able to complete the entire project solely with my scrollsaw, but the majority of it was. Anyway, I just wanted to share and get some opinions.
