Nice work! I've done it where grain orientation (or thickness) is all the same and just cut the whole pattern out at one time. Then just round over all the edges and it's done. You mean to tell me that you have to cut out and sand each individual pattern piece and then make it fit like a puzzle?
Yes each piece is oriented so that the grain enhances the pattern, and the different heights give the 3 dimensional appearance. So I started from the center basically and worked towards the perimeter pieces
how do you change the thickness of the woods you use? Thickness Planer? Drum sander? I'm interested. I'm new to the scrolling. just bought a Dewalt 788.
@silentkill253 MY FIRST ATTEMPT WAS THE EAGLE, WHICH I WASN'T HAPPY WITH I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS THE SIZE, I MADE IT THE SIZE OF THE PICTURE IN THE BOOK. REALIZED THE SMALLER THE HARDER
Thanks for letting us look around your workshop and the intarsia you've done.
I have the same book in my woodshop class, i did the eagle it turned out really nice
Nice work Bernie

LOL, good eye and yes always the last piece.
real nice work!
I only round off the top 1/3 and try to avoid sanding the surfaces that touch once I have the fit correct
Pretty awesome!
i dont understand how the tips are all rounded,if you sand down the shape wil change wont it?
@2fine4ubabyboo Very nice, wish you all the luck in the world on your venture
If you had to build this again, what would you do different?

I would usually use my jointer or with the smaller pieces just the 12" disc sander
That's pretty bad ass guy

ARO-MATIC cedar. As in aroma...
How do you “raise” the wood?
You can either make some pieces thinner, or even use like some 1/4" plywood to raise certain areas if the wood wasn't thick enough
hi i need this book
Excellent to see that woodprix has new plans what helped me save some money and energy to build it.
