The art of intarsia uses natural color woods to create a mosaic like picture by cutting out the pieces of wood using a scroll saw. The pieces are then shaped, sanding, finished with a clear varnish, and glued to a backerboard.
 
With purchase of this digital file you will receive a zip file that includes the following:
- A cover photo of my original finished piece to reference.
- A PDF file of the pattern that will print out on letter size paper.
- A JPEG file of the full scale pattern that measures 35.5” x 23.5”
 
This is an advanced pattern that consists of over 600 pieces for those intarsians that like a challenge. You could also use this pattern for a segmentation piece (painting the pieces rather than using natural wood colors).
 
This is a line pattern with thin red lines for better visibility and more accurate cuts.  I did not include grain direction or color suggestions in the pattern or it would be too crowded. You can use the reference photo in the file or the pictures on this listing, if you’d like to reference what I used.
 
I used wood thicknesses varying from 1/4” to 1” thick and used some risers for the cardinals.
