With this inspiring sourcebook of patterns, John Everett uses the scrollsaw to exploit the potential of Intarsia - a unique wood inlay decorative effect developed in the Italian Renaissance - to make a range of practical products and display items for the home. Helpful advice is given for scrollsaw basics, suitable materials and equipment, safety in the workshop, finishing and decorative techniques.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Intarsia, an artistic version of the common jigsaw puzzle, is popular with woodworkers because it lends itself to bold contemporary designs. Wood pieces are cut out with a scrollsaw, painted in contrasting colors or left as natural wood, and glued together on a plain backing. These projects by an artist and producer of craft kits include several gameboards, decorative wall plaques, and free-standing three-dimensional figures. Working patterns to be enlarged by photocopy are included for each project. A good selection for public library crafts collections.
