Butterfly Intarsia
7 X 10
This Butterfly was made with cherry and aspen on the wings with an oak body. the body is the only piece that was stained a darker color.We also used a pine ply backer for the piece. I also applied polyurethane for the protection of the piece.
This would be a great piece for indoors or out!
INTARSIA - Today, intarsia is created by selecting different types of wood, using its natural grain patterns and colors (rather than dyes and stains) to create the different colors in the pattern. We do prefer to use solild pine on our pieces so that we can keep the prices low for our customers. Each piece of wood is then individually cut , shaped, and sanded before fitting them together like a jig-saw puzzle and gluing them to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood backing cut to the shape of the final product. We also like to use solid oak or birch for backers, depending on the piece. Sometimes, additional pieces of plywood are used to raise areas of the pattern to create more depth. Once together, a final layer of finish is applied and the project is complete.
