Following a progression, this resource takes you on a journey from the concepts and basics of working with an intarsia pattern to the fundamentals of cutting, sanding, gluing, creating a backer board, and finishing your first project. From there, you'll move on to techniques that will take your work to the next level, such as staining, shims, overlays, laminations, woodburning (pyrography), and carving texture, to add shading and grain to your mosaic masterpiece.
With the projects divided into beginner, intermediate beginner, and advanced beginner levels, this easy to follow book includes step-by-step instructions, over 20 patterns, reference photos, material lists, and tips to help you turn inlaid wood into a stunning work of art! Each step is organized into 17 total mini-lessons, including practice exercises and a final step-by-step guided project. Five additional patterns for each skill level round out the chapters.
