Intarsia patterns can be very simple, but also very complex.  Now Steve is a woodworker from “Down Under” who knows how to get a guys attention.  He uses naked wood.  You might be asking, “Is there any other kind?”  Well, this piece of wood is unique in that it has a name and gender; she goes by the name of Sandy.  She got her name as Steve puts it “I call her Sandy because I enjoyed sanding her”.  Who wouldn’t?

Intarsia Patterns The Bare Wood

Steve is a very talented woodworker in my opinion.  I had the pleasure of viewing some of his other finished projects on his site – very nice.  I for one have never under took an Intarsia woodworking project.  It’s definitely something I would consider giving a try in the future.  Maybe, I’ll postpone that rocking horse project and give it a try this week.  What an awesome wood piece (no pun intended) to share on his video.

In case you don’t know much about wood Intarsia, (not to be confused with Knitting Intarsia), in a nut shell, it’s a woodworking technique that uses different types of wood pieces, shapes, sizes, and textures to create a three dimensional mosaic from wood.  If you’ve never attempted an Intarsia wood project before, maybe after watching this video, you might be up for giving it a try.  Much of the wood used in this kind of a project is considered scrap wood.  Now, you can make good use of it.

I must say that Steve and Sandy have genuinely inspired me to branch out in the woodworking medium.  I think at times we can forget that working with wood is more than a craft.  It’s equally artistic, or at least it can be depending on the woodworkers themselves.
