Toucan intarsia

Looks really great!!! I’m glad you didn’t give up. I am currenlty working on my first intarsia project.

Very nicely done for a first timer, very good contouring.

Your toucan looks great… glad you kept with it… I have not yet had time to try an intarsia project, but have some plans in mind for my first…

Very good image with nicely contrasting woods! So glad you didn’t stop countour sanding sooner, the reflected light would have given the flatness away. Those few extra hours of pain gave you an heirloom, my friend.
Soft clean finish too!

I almost quit making it because some of the pieces didn’t fit too well. and then all of the sanding. I finally recut a couple of pieces…it looked good enough to spend the time sanding. I’m glad I finished it. Since then, I made another toucan, but with some different woods.

I rounded over what I could with my Bosch Colt. The rest was done by other means.
I’ll take a pic of the other one and post it.
