dont know if this has been done before, i was playing around and came upwith the idea of combing fret work and intarsia. iset out buy getting a few photos of a crappie and playing around with the pattern. i started with the body and cut the fret scales once i was satisfied i began cutting the pieces apart and shaping. the fines i decided to cut out and when glued back togther i will cut the frets (i hope). thanks for looking any comments welcome.

Nice work, Funhater (do you have any other name we can use?), and an interesting combination of fretwork and intarsia.
If you're curious about what other scrollers have been doing in related areas, check out Dick Miraglia's website, dickmiragliawildlife - Home. Dick does carved fretwork, and has some beautiful work posted. Also, Kim Braa does some interesting things with carving that you might want to look at.
I love seeing new combinations of techniques, and I think you'll be taking this technique to some very interesting places. Congratulations!

If they are afraid of them being passed around, a lot are already on Pinterest with the copyright logo on the pattern! I’m not spending money for the magazine cds I already have them. Don’t need the magazine, just...

Reply to Old Tool - Rebornby RolfTony great Job! I had all good intentions of building a setup like that but got lazy. Lots of storage on yours and the router lift really is a must have in my opinion. It makes setup so much easier.
What did you use to make your box joints?...-

by RolfI just looked at disk 6 there is a section where the pullout is tiled into 8-1/2 x 11 sections. you still would have to print and put them together.
I do like the way it was tiled on disk 4 better....-
