I’m considering this one finished unti I can figure out what I am going to do with it..ha. This is my first intarsia project, fun but I can see how practice is the key to this type of woodworking. This is the rating symbol for a Navy Aviation Ordnanceman.

Wings = ash
center pot = walnut
flames = bloodwood and mohogany

I’m thinking of making a sea chest and mount this to the top….or just frame it behind glass and display as is….just don’t know.

Enjoy.

Ken,
Looking like I’ll be out that way around the first of Dec, unless things change a few more times..ha.

Thanks, my scroll saw has collected more dust than it has created but it’s a lot of fun and would recommend acquiring one for any entry level person who is just starting to build their tool arsenal.

I showed a friend your submarine the other day, I may have to borrow your concept…he asked for a bomb-shaped coin holder…..that should be a nice challenge being that I haven’t used my lathe much in the past either. Too many tools for the time I have to use them…..what a great position to be in right..ha.

I will definietly let you know a few weeks out as I get dates firmed up on coming out.

Al, great job especially for your first attempt. I just finished my first Intarsia piece last week and have already started on my second one. It sure is a challenging art form but also a fun one. There are some guys on LJs doing some nice Intarsia work and I have learned a lot from them. I am looking forward to some more of your Intarsia projects.

To put it succinctly – a refined work of art.

Al, very nice job on your first try, It only takes a few projects to get hooked. I think your Navy Aviation Symbol would look great on top of a Sea Chest.

Beautiful woodworking. Love Virginia Beach, but was there for a very difficult occasion.
