A few weeks ago I saw Kathy Wise’s Break of Dawn rooster napkin holder in Scrollsaw Fall 2008, issue 32, I knew I had to make this piece.
My wife loves roosters and our kitchen is decorated in roosters and it is a great pattern.
When I finished the piece, with one rooster, my wife loved it. The next day she asked why there is only one rooster.
I went back to the garage and made a second rooster and glued it to the napkin holder. Now everyone at the table can see a rooster.
The first rooster is made with bloodwood, yellowheart, paduak, walnut, and zebra wood.
The second rooster is made with bloodwood, yellowheart, paduak, walnut, purpleheart, and soft maple.
Thanks for looking.
Jim

Nice work Jim.The wood colors are beautiful too. My wife also has chickens and roosters in the kitchen. I’m not sure what the appeal of chickens is, but I hope she wasn’t attracted to me for that reason!

Nice Job,
I have a neighbor who collects roosters art in her kitchen. I like how the red in the rooster stands out, is there any added dye to the wood, or is it just the wood that is so red? Very creative.

@Richard,
All natural wood. No stains or dyes used, just a clear coat for protection.

I love intarsia and i think your napkin holder is awsome. My wife did her kitchen in ducks several years ago and now she is into apples. You gave me a idea to make for the kitchen. Thanks a lot for posting.
