Getting Started
When beginning an intarsia project, first select a project design. You may create your own pattern or purchase a pattern from an artist. Once the pattern is selected, make extra copies.
Next, determine what species of wood to use on your project. The grain and color of each species of wood can enhance a project.
Once board and grains are selected, start roughing out the thickness of the wood. This will give depth to the project
There are different techniques in applying patterns to the wood. The pattern may be traced onto the wood if you wish. Glue sticks, spray adhesive or rubber cement may be used when adhering the pieces. I prefer to use rubber cement.
