Hello, Here is an intarsia trivet I did awhile back. I call it a trivet, although we haven't set anything hot on it. It measures approximately 6" X 6", so maybe it's more like a large coaster. It was my first attempt at using a technique shown in the 4th post of this thread: http://gemstone.smfforfree4.com/index.php/topic,1604.0.html (Intarsia question): My apologies to all the professional photographers out there.

I had a feeling when I saw the word intarsia associated with your username, that it was going to be something special when I opened this up ... Wow.. ! |

That's great!!!!!!!! I know how it's done. From doing marquetry in wood. But it still is not that easy & you've done a fine job of it. Mike |

Can't even imagine how long that piece too to make. It's really a display of wonderful craftsmanship.

Wow how many hours did it take to make that one? Killer
Christopher, I can't say how long this one took, but probably longer than it should have since this was my first attempt at using this method, so it was a learning experience. I worked on it for about a month. ******************************************************************************************************************* Thanks for all your kind comments. I forgot to mention that this intarsia was made from just 2 rocks. One was thulite and the other was malachite. Garry |
