I have now begun a Paypal complaint resolution as I have repeatedly attempted to contact these folks with no result.  Here it is mid February, and no contact, or magazine has been shipped.  I surely hope that others have received what they paid for, or at least been able to contact the seller.  Hopefully, I can get a refund from Paypal, as it has become obvious that the seller can not, or will not meet their obligation.

I ordered on Dec 13th,  to date I have received nothing from them, no email, no magazine, no PDF.  NOT a good start..I may have to demand a full refund.

Gorgeous! Love the wood choices. Is that pattern a new one? I don't remember seeing that on on Judy's site.

Not a new one.  Look under Birds.  its there.  I have been planning to do this one for well over a year, and finally got around to it.

Lots of advantages, IF you can get used to them.   Using spirals you won't have to turn the wood to make a turn or corner.  you can hold the wood and never change your grip.  Personally,  I have tried them, and for what I do (Intarsia) they simply won't do.  I can definatly see them being used for normal scroll work.

A Sanding mop is PRICELESS for Intarsia.  I shape each piece with a drum sander going from 120 grit, and following with a drum of 220 grit, and then each piece gets the mop. It is extremely rare for me to pick up a piece of sandpaper to hand sand anything.  I use a 220 grit mop and I will NOT do intarsia without it ever again.

If the piece has a backing, or a stand, I'll make a computer label and attach it with spray adhesive, and then spray polyurethane over it to keep it from peeling off.  I also do this with All of my Intarsia pieces.  Those will list the pattern name, designer, and woods used, along with the month and year I made it.  I do the same with my business card so people know how to find me.
