Beautiful work Jess, The colors are great and the frame is perfect too. Blogs showing work methods are always appreciated. Even when we don’t want to make the same kind of project there is always something new to learn that can be useful.

Jess that is certainly a beautiful piece. I am a scroller, in the past doing mainly detailed pictures and fretwork pieces. I am looking for different avenues to try and wow, this really excites me. Not sure I am artist enough. This takes more abilities and artistic talent than just cutting out the black areas of a pattern. I don’t even know how you get the nice colors. So much to learn.

Congratulations on a very beautiful piece.

Just a fantastic job.

Thanks for the information too.

I use a scroolsaw for many decades and have never came close to this sort of skill level.

I wonder about putting the pattern on both sides of your work—as a sandwich type of thing with all pieces identified somehow on the bottom then—numbers?/letter/?grid type identifier!

Nice intarsia work! You can buy both matte and gloss clear automotive lacquer at most O’Reilly Auto Parts Stores, and Pep Boys. It’s tough as nails. It doesn’t yellow like nitrocellulose lacquer. I happen to like the way nitrocellulose Lacquer yellows, but I can see that it wouldn’t look nice on your projects.

ralbuck, that might be a good suggestion but what you got in mind on gluing them together and keeping the pieces lined up… When I get the final coats of paint on I then flood the backer board with lots of glue then race the clock to get all the pieces in their places before the glue sets up…...and trying to keep everything snugged up so no gaps between the pieces..

Dark-Lightening thanks for the info…
