I guess I am not a woodworker!
Better than anything I have made! and certainly a better use of a pine shelf, than…well, a pine shelf.

And he is wielding a wooden mallet, so that was a cool choice!

Thanks guys. It probably looks a little strange with no color, but my son wanted that way. I am a little surprised that it became a picture using just wood. Now he will have to hang it on the wall every time we visit him, lol. I give most of my work away, so I probably won’t be doing many wall pieces for just that reason.

you sly fox mike

this came out great !

that’s the difference from painting and intarsia
they can ‘fade’ their lines
but with intarsia every piece needs to have a border to cut to

glad you had a good visit
and made it home saftly

now to the weeds !

Looks great Mike. Looking at it again, I think you should have put a pig sticker in his other hand. LOL. You should be proud of it. For a first attempt at intarsia, I think you did a fantastic job.

Looks very good to me.
