Hi,
Finally finished this Intarsia, the customer ordered 2 of them (same bike but different views) its approx 16" x 16" x 1 1/2" solid Beech with a bit of Oak and walnut thrown in
.
Although not as detailed as some of my other bikes the mopeds were tricky to get the feeling of depth on the leg shields but I am happy with them so hopefully her dad will like his.
This will be the last of the bikes for a long while as the wildlife work is mounting up and I need to concentrate on them, having said that I will be starting the Welsh Dragon one as its to be ready for a trade fair in February...... I will test the new EX30 on it the wider table will help to support the thick Beech plus it gives me an excuse to play with the new toys lol. I will soon be training Ruth to do them so she can help me out with the smaller stuff like the Hares and dogs.... she`s never used a scrollsaw before so it will be fun seeing how she reacts when the blade snaps :lol: :twisted:
As usual the photo was taken before final wax finish (to stop light reflecting) hence it looks a bit dull..... once they are waxed it makes the colours pop but gets reflections.
Cheers
Brian
