That's superb work Ron. When you used the bandsaw for most of the work, other than internal cuts, why did you not continue with the bandsaw on the heads? I am thinking of trying intarsis this years and just gathering information. Malcolm.
+Badger Woodcrafters I did not use a bandsaw for cutting any of this. Even the cheese and backer board were cut on the scroll saw. A bandsaw produces a rough cut. A scroll saw produces a smooth, polished cut. I only use the bandsaw to rough cut parts to reduce the overall size before going to the scroll saw.

+Ronald Walters My mistake Ron, it was so interesting I lost the plot. Just been looking at your Keepsake Wood Intarsia Boxes, another 'gem' that has given me ideas. It's a very facinating subject this intarsia and I hope I can reach your standards. Just need to get a better scrollsaw and learn the art.
Nice job Ron. The detail on the mice is impressive working with such small pieces. Do you cut off the bends you made on the needles before inserting them? That is the only detail you did not cover. You certainly have a like on this project and I will be checking out your page for other projects.
The bends on the end of the "ball end pins" (needles) become the base or stand for the pins. After the bend is made, I cut off the remaining excess length (the pointed end). Then as I said, you place a couple of drops of glue into the eye socket and then stick the bend of the pin into the glue. The bend will hold the pin upright until the glue drys. Thank you for watching and subscribing! Ron
This is an absolutely delightful intarsia, Ron. Beautifully done! Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Aloha. Clayton
Thanks Ron - a wonderful work!
If I could get my scroll saw to work that well I'd be on this one!
I'm sure there's a great satisfaction when complete.
LOVE the detail you put in your videos, Ron!
I love this project. I'll get to work on it with my 6 year-old daughter. Wish me luck.
Thanks Ronald
Thank you for all the great details... I learned a lot!
