My First Attempt At Segmentation

[ColonelForbin]

I thought I would try my hand at the Petal Perfect Rose Box.
I gave it to my wife for Valentine's Day. :0)

That is segmentation? WOW you did an excellent job of shaping.
What was the wood you used.

It is obvious, you have been doing this for quite sometime. Nicely done!

[ColonelForbin]

Thanks kindly!!
I thought it was my first attempt at intarsia, but I just read Jim Mex's post about the difference between intarsia and segmentation, and apparently since the pieces were all cut from the same piece of wood (walnut) it is segmentation....so, it is my first attempt at segmentation. :0)
I bought a Ryobi scroll saw about three years ago, but was very limited due to the quality of the saw and the fact that it takes pin blades only, so I haven't really been active for a long time.
I upgraded my saw last October and have gotten so absorbed in the last few months. It is amazing how many creative doors the higher quality saw has opened for me. :0)

Fantastic looking box and rose. I love the way the grain in the walnut just pops out with the excellent shaping.

Segmentation or Intarsia, it is still a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
