Several years ago, I saw two beautiful
pieces of wooden art hanging on the wall in the home of a good friend in Langly B.C. As I looked at them
I thought that this art form was something
that I would like to try.
When I arrived home to Omemee Ontario
I did some research and found that this art form is called Intarsia.
I found some sorces for patterns, ordered
a few simple ones, purchased some tools and lumber, and I was hooked on Intarsia.
I retired from my full time job in April
of 2004, and I found that in a year or so I had the house full of Intarsia pieces. The full house is the reason that
I now offer my pieces for sale.
I make my patterns out of 1/8" Baltic
Birch Plywood, and therefore can use them again and again.
Compared
to most of the Intarsia that I have seen, I do a lot more raising, lowering and shaping of the individual pieces than most
people do. This gives my pieces a much greater three dimensional look than most that I have seen.
If you have enjoyed looking at my work,
please pass it on to your friends.
