The Art of Intarsia: Projects & Patterns
Hall has sold over 4000 works of intarsia, the craft of creating three-dimensional pictures from small pieces of wood using the wood's natural color and texture in the design. After a short introduction to the craft, he provides readers with 20 projects including animals, birds, holiday motifs, clocks, a motorcycle, and a necktie. His instructions are easy to follow, and the book itself is unusually attractive. The short sections on safety and on pricing one's work are particularly well done. This excellent, accessible book will appeal to both beginning and experienced woodworkers and belongs in every public library.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
