Small project

[Intarsiaplans]

Hey all...

Finally i post a small project of me, the pentagram lidded box that includes a bit of intarsia and woodturning....The woods i used are American Wwalnut and Ash.
Many projects where i am busy on require sanding with a dremel and at the moment i am waiting for some parts so i am stuck....pretty rubbish to be honest....sooo i just keep cutting out some patterns and when the bits arrive i got loads to do...

And for the folks that live near Shorne woods in Kent, they are doing a lot of maintanance there next to the road and they have cut many trees there now and it really much....So i grabbed myself some logs of oak and birch...Have a look.

A Star Turn there Danny, welcome to the world of round spinny things.

What type of saw do you use to cut the segments?

 

[Intarsiaplans]

I used a ryobi scrollsaw with a pin end blade to use the full length of the blade which is longer than non pin end blades....

Was a tricky job though but came out perfetcly for a first time trying.

I am surprised you could keep the cuts so accurate on a scroll saw.

The only time I have seen similar the wood blanks were glued up in long lengths (like a stick of rock) and sections cut off as required.

The individual strips, about 300mm long, were faceted on a router table with the aid of angle jigs.
