Shaped Segmentation as an alternative to true intarsia.

[Rolf]

I want to be clear right up front, my first love is Intarsia. A big reason for that is selecting the woods, grain direction etc. The other thing is you really need to be very precise when cutting you pieces.
That said, I am not a purist and love playing with bright colors and alternative materials....

[Rolf]

You did that pattern justice, I may have to cut this one.
The test cut was was done by my friend Joe , one of our club members and excellent scroller....

[Rolf]

Scott I call that shaped segmentation. It has its place. I will post what I am doing as a new post so as not to hijack this one.

[Rolf]

Great idea! I also agree with Scott and Jim.

[Rolf]

I like your wood choices. Looking forward to seeing it after shaping and finishing....

I was using my older Colewood Super pro II yesterday and I could not control the temperature. As soon as I turned it on the tip went to the max. I opened it up to have a look.
Not much in the box a Transformer, a small circuit board with a few components. I decided to call the company and I believe...

It seems that new members don't present themselves in the new members section. If anyone spots a new member encourage them to introduce themselves in the new member section.

I will send Kaylee a note to see who is overseeing the forum.

Really nice, and I agree that the glue up is the biggest challenge. Especially trying to keep things symmetrical.

[Rolf]

Groan!!!!!!

[Rolf]

Beautiful! This is on my to do list. Your wood choices really make this piece.

[Rolf]

Thanks Scott, maybe if we go down to visit Junes son in Greenville NC

That was the biggest beef from groups on line that the stuff is hard to find locally. The Green glittery stuff will get a lot of usage on my Christmas ornaments.

I am ashamed to say that I have lived in this wonderful country since 1955 (age 7) and have never been to Washington, The Smithsonian complex is on my bucket list.

I don't want to detract from your original post, but. Denny that is sad, I am an immigrant and also spent 11 years in the AF. I confess that I still get a bit misty eyed when I hear our national anthem and our flag as I see it go by in our local parades.

Well said Melanie.

[Rolf]

And what are the three must makes? Curious minds want to know.
I agree it is a great issue.

[Rolf]

Very nice!...

My wife still has her hair dresser license, she cuts my hair. So we go the local Sally's for her supplies. They have lots of stuff that is great for our hobby like small squeeze bottles, I will look for these the next time I go with her. Thanks for the tip.

[Rolf]

I love what it says! You did a really great job with it, the colors really pop. Does Sam sell his patterns?

[Rolf]

I have had it for 48 years completely disassembled 3 times....

Our Village FD had it's first annual classic car show today. So I had a chance to show off my other hobby.
What a great day and some of the most amazing cars I have ever seen....
