I was laid off from work this week, so I spent a lot of time in the shop.
First is a hummingbird from JGR's book, "Artistry in Wood" I used a slab for the background instead of cutting a piece. Made with Poplar, Walnut, Aspen, Aromatic Cedar, African Paduck, and Yellow Heart.
Next is a Lighthouse from Kathy Wise's book, "Intarsia Woodworking Projects" I made this one with Poplar, Cherry, Aspen, Walnut, Oak,and Aromatic Cedar. Ended up with a couple of small gaps that I have yet to figure out, but I think they were caused by the way I glued it all up. It was nice and tight on the bench before gluing. Live and Learn.
