Another Robin

[linkshouse]

Another Robin Intarsia, Judy Gale Roberts design this time with a blatant use of Chestnut wood dyes!

An order of magnitude step up in quality of presentation and colour application.
Subtle difference in complimentary shades with just the small striking contrast highlight to accentuate the detail.

Lovely stuff. I think the Robin is my favourite bird, a busy no nonsense little fella.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

I have tended to try and avoid the dyes but must agree that I think they have really helped with this one. It is one of my favourites.

As an aside, I posted it on my website straight after posting it here and it has sold already!

A lovely piece Phil. Not surprised it sold quickly. Very well done. By the way, what wood did you use.

Excellent Phill. Really natural looking and a lovely blend of complimentary colours. Its small wonder that its already flown away ;-)

Well now, I'm not entirely sure.

Some while back I was lucky enough to pick up two huge pallets of assorted hardwood offcuts/leftovers from one of the local builders.

There was oak and I'm pretty sure that is what the base of the Robin is, and a red coloured wood that I'm thinking is mahogany, or maybe sapele (but it hasn't got the banding typical of sapele) and that is what I used for the body. The white bits are lime I think.

Hmm, not much help really, sorry.

It's not waxed in this photo but I did wax it before despatch when it was sold.

The Robin is stunning in my opinion.
The best small bird intarsia that I've seen.
Very nice
