From Kathy Wise in the holiday issue of SWWC. The snowman is redheart and aspen and the reindeer is lyptus, redheart, aspen and Brazilian cherry. These were a treat to cut and a nice little change of pace for me.

Kevin, I love them!! They are so cute!! I have not attempted intarsia. I always thought it looked too hard, but you have really got me interested in trying it!! Were they difficult to do?? Now where did I put my new SSW&C magazine!?!?! I'm off to find it to check these out! Thanks for posting these!!

Those are so cute (and nicely made). Kevin, you're a source of continual surprises.

Cathy, these were quite easy to do. If you like intarsia, my suggestion is to just pick something you like and go for it! Actually, that's pretty much my suggestion for any type of scrolling. I figure the worst that can happen is that you goof and create some nice firewood but the lessons learned along the way are invaluable.Kevin

Kevin's right Cathy...The little Teddy Bear I posted in another thread was my first attempt at intarsia and even though I had to hand sand it all it was a fun little project!!! So much so that I bought a dual shaft flex sander so I can do more (it arrived yesterday). As Kevin said, jump right in and do it!! Don't be afraid to do something new and different with the saw. Now that my book is behind me I've been trying a lot of new stuff and having fun in the shop. (The book started to be a job rather than a hobby there near the end and a lot of the fun and relaxation of scrolling was lost to "gotta get it done")!! Intarsia isn't a difficult process, it just looks that way before you get started. Once you get rolling on an intarsia project it's hard to leave the shop even for a cup of coffee!!! Try it....you'll like it.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Reply to Who has Been Vaccinated ?by will8989Our appt is next week, I think. We are going to another county as ours doesn’t have enough. So they say. First one was cancelled for 2/1 as they had to make sure they had enough for the 2nd shot. Applied the next day and got the same appointment they cancelled. Go figure.

Reply to Who has Been Vaccinated ?Can't get mine yet in Arizona, although I'd love to. Don't have enough vaccines here, so we are still focused on high exposure 'essential workers' and people over 75. I have a sister in assisted living with hospice people and care givers that come and go everyday...they still haven't received the...
