Grey jay made from blue pine, holly, ebony and maple.

Here is a Grey Jay I designed ready for glue and varnish.

The sunflower is turning out quite nicely. A few touch ups and it will be ready to go! 138 pieces in total.

Here is the finished bible I was asked to make. Was easier to make it look like a bible once the customer asked for a certain scripture to be added. Not bad for my first attempt.

Another project on the go. I was asked to make a bible for someone.

New project on the go for spring! Look at all those pieces! Be nice once its finished. Pattern by Kathy Wise.

Hello everyone! Even though I am not a business I figured I should post an update. I am still working in the shop and any orders I have will be completed. However there will be no pick ups or deliveries or mail orders. If once this is all over you still want your order it will be here waiting. If not thats fine too. As for all the people just learning or getting into intarsia that I correspond with, keep the emails, texts and calls coming. I am also glad to help o...ut anyone who decides to take up this hobby while self isolating. Just send me a message with your questions and I will try to help. I will continue to post pictures of my work and hey........send me yours!

I was asked to do a larger angel from the Kathy wise ornament pattern I used at Christmas. They are in the rough stages at this point. Not sure about the orange mittens as of yet lol

I was asked to to some double sided trees that could hang. Bit of a learning curve but I think I have it figured out now.

Here are the king fishers. Nearly finished. Just need a couple more coats of varnish.

I havent been hibernating! I drew this pair of king fishers which are coming along nicely. I used blue pine for the majority of the work along with holly, paddock, olive wood, maple and ebony.

I drew this mermaid in a similar fashion to the angle I made using Kathy Wises pattern.
