is this segmentation ?

[boxmaker]

Hi,

            I have been wanting to try this project for awhile, but I have never done this type of scrolling before. Is this segmentation or intarsia and what is the difference. And is this project to difficult for a first time project. Here is the link. http://www.scrollerltd.com/prodinfo.asp?number=7148SC

                                   Thanks for your help. Mark

Hey boxmaker. This is a project you would end up using your table saw. The pieces are ripped and then mitered on a table saw. However it might be done as Intarsia. I have a similar pattern that I never got around to because I was afraid of all the miters. I now have a Dubby sled that makes perfect miters every time!

Thanks for the response Dgman, I have a similar miter thing from Incra, I also have a chop saw and a table saw. I guess I will have to order the pattern and see what method they use.

                                          Thanks again Mark

i think this type of work is reffered to as marquetry not sure of the spelling!

dgman do  you need both left & right? if  so this could get exspensive.

[dgman]

I have the left side only. But it would be nice to have the right side too!

Boxmaker - Segmentation uses only one type of wood.  The pieces are cut and then painted or stained and reassembled.  Intarsia pieces are cut from a variety of woods or different shades of the same wood and then shaped and sanded and then assembled into the pattern.  Being there is no shaping  done here I also would consider this a form of marquetry.  Good luck.  Looks like an interesting and fun pattern.

I have a similar pattern in a marquetry book.

Thanks everyone, EclipseScroller, thanks for the explanation of the two. The project looks nice and intimidating as well. I think I might read up on Marquetry and segmentation and try something small first.
