I posted this on a couple of other forums, so some of you may have already seen it. Not sure if this goes here. Steve, move it where it goes please.
What is it you ask? I call it ?The Maze?. Toyed with other titles such as ?Geometric Delight?, ?Geometric Shapes?, etc. All sounded, as Dave Barry would say, like the name of a rock band. Hence, The Maze. Got the idea from New Day pattern done by Sue Chrestensen at Chrestensen Burghout Designs and Plaquerd?s cutting of it.
http://www.scrollsawer.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/4852/ppuser/6373 I may cut that one also.
The Maze may not be my most challenging project, but it?s in the top 3. The next time, it will be different. Maybe as a true intarsia cutting. Maybe a sand inlay. Stay tuned.
My question is what type of scrolling is this? Is it fretwork? I don?t think so, although the circle that was cut could loosely be interpreted as that. How about inlay or marquetry? Well there is some enhanced veneering. How about intarsia? For sure, there is some shaping and layering.
Again, what do you call this type of scrolling? How about modern painting with wood?
Wood species include spanish cedar, padauk, cherry, oak, mahogany, black walnut, walnut, spalted maple, teak, aspen, Purple heart, and chesnut. The laminated piece is Oak, Cherry, Padauk, and Purple Heart (bottom to top). There is a special prize for any one guesses what I used for the seams. Size is 18? square, finished with Deft.
So folks, here it is.
?The Maze?
As always, comments welcome.
