This is my rendition of Thomas Jefferson’s home as it may have looked around 1800.
It is done with over 800 pieces from 17 woods.The 20”x 30” frame is made from cherry with bloodwood and holly inlay. 150 hours were spent creating this piece over 2 months

How did you get the brick effect on the house? is each individual brick cut separately?

Outstanding piece and I’m sure all will agree.
I would like to make special note of the fine detail of the railing on the fencing, the divided light windows and, my personal favorite, the individual spokes of the wagon/carriage.
Beautiful!

Thanks all for the comments

All of the detail carving is done using different bits in the rotary tool.There are over 3000 bricks carved in this way.My technique is to trace pieces from the pattern sheet onto sticky back label paper which is placed onto the wood blank.The piece is them cut on the scroll saw and while the paper pattern is still attached to the wood I do the detail carving thru the paper pattern.It is very time consuming but works nicely.

Great job. I have always wanted to do some intarsia but it seems I just never get started on one. I just don’t know how to come up with all the different colored woods, etc. But then again if I did intarsia, would I have enough time for turning…................LOL

Really nice. If you need another fantastic place, how about George Washington’s house, Mount Vernon?
