Is Jess's work Intarsia? School me folks.

As I understand it Jess's work is segmentation, i.e. all pieces cut from one large piece and then the pieces sanded or carved, then stained, dyed or painted as desired.

Inartsia is cutting the individual pieces from separate small(er) sections of wood, which are selected for color and grain. very little to no staining for color is done (just to protect the wood)

Thanks Gene, I know what Intarsia is, just wasn't sure if Jess's work fell into that category or not.

We don't have to look too far to see some fantastic Intarsia than in our own community!

 

You are right. Mike is a great intarsia artist. Just thought Roberts' You Tube shop tour would be of interest.

I did Gene! And I watched! And because I watched I lost my frame of time and now I am late for work! 

Thanks for the lead.

Outta here!

Sorry, John. Hope they didn't start the party without ya.

John it don't matter what my stuff is called...…..I didn't set out to copy any one... I'm my own person. If it don't fit in to any one of these categories so be it..

Awe come on Jess, we all get inspiration from somewhere! We are not all as unique and original as we like to think we are, even you copy images that came from someone else for your scroll saw patterns.

And yes sir, you do fit into a category, the "Scroll Sawing" forum fits your work nicely, and keep that wonderful work coming Jess! I always enjoy your scrolling and colors.

I am going out on a  limb here but I believe Stick would say, "Why am I not surprised?"

Only Jesse could find an old wrecked car inspiration for a neat picture in wood. I think Jesse is a fine example of what is so great about the diverse group here on TPWW.  As WWBN said, none of us fit in a box. At least....not yet.

That's not carelessness Gene, that's called, IDGAD syndrome. And you've earned that right around here!

 

Anyways, I apologise for hijacking this topic with my insane crusade to keep our community organized, let's get back to Jess's work! I love it no matter what it's called, and I am proud that Jess has chosen to showcase here among many places to visit. Cheers y'all!
