My first crack at Intarsia?!
« on: March 31, 2011, 06:18:04 pm »
Yes, I AM a huge Boston Bruins fan...
I decided that I wanted to make a wooden logo for my wall, so I did... It measures 12" and I used a very old wooden shelf (poplar i think?) for the big circles and most of the spokes. Pine was used for the B and the white is just Baltic Birch. I used watered acrylic paint and then used a water based varnish to finish it.
I'm not sure if this is classed as Intarsia or not, I did a lot of rounding but where it is a logo I didn't think that shaping would work well, but pieces are at different heights.  Phew, what fun...
Bruce ;D

Ok. I'm adding a link to photobucket so you all can have a look...

First off, great job!! That came out awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Secondly, in a different post I asked about posting a pic of a team logo I did and Russ and GB said not to. I'm interested in seeing what they say about this.

Well, It looks like Russ deleted the picture in the original post. He hasn't caught the second one yet.

Bruce, that is a copyrighted logo and can not be posted here as Steve is responsible and subject to lawsuits!

Bruce,
Sports logo's are copyrighted and cannot be posted on the forum.

Dan is right on both counts, I deleted it.

Been a little hard to get on the forum do to weather, no power, or I would have deleted the second one sooner.

Russ, I apologize for posting the picture(twice). Just so caught up in the project and wanted to show it off and never thought about the copyright issue. It's good to see that you are on your toes... my bad.... Thank you all for your comments...

That's funny, as an author (please feel free to buy my books!) I should have been conscious of the copyright thing and totally spaced it because I was so impressed with the woodworking.
