This Intarsia project was pretty much done by the book by Kathy Wise (3rd photo).
However, I made it about twice as big to fit the scale of our master bath where it will be hung. The stick is 4/4 Bolivian Rosewood (24” long to give a sense of scale). The rest is 6/4 Yellowheart, some of which is stained green with a waterbased stain. Tung oil finish and may buff in some wax in the future.

Well HickoryHill… I used the exact same sander you have (the Ridgid OSS) if that is indeed your tool I see listed under your projects… you have most of what you need.
Umm… you also need a bad a** scroll saw. I just bought a Delta/Rockwell 40-440 for $115 off craigslist nad tuned it up. Cuts thru 2” lumber fairly easy.

I have done this same pattern and you have done a great job. You have out done yourself.
