Publisher's Note Intarsia, the popular craft of wood inlay, offers woodworkers an unrivaled opportunity for creative pleasure. See how satisfying it can be, with 14 unique projects that employ a variety of special techniques. The basics involve choosing beautiful pieces of wood, cutting them, and fitting the different textures and colored pieces into a design. But endless possibilities arise with the addition of carving, wood burning, sandblasting, wire brushing, burnishing, stamping, and more. Each piece here reveals a different facet of the art. The graceful Moonflight features a flock of geese, done in enhanced 3-D to add perspective. Hang this sculpture for a particularly magical effect: when a breeze blows through, it will move the geese, giving the appearance of flight. Woodworkers looking for a challenge can try the freestanding Nativity Scene, which incorporates natural materials and uses texturing techniques. Or make a multicolored Wizard and Dragon, simple German Shepherd, and even a Fish Through a Porthole underwater scene!
