Hi Fellow Patriot Woodworkers

Has been a while since I've any completed projects to show off. 

The first one is a plaque I did as a birthday gift for a good friend of mine done as an Intarsia rendition of the unit crest of the 1st Aviation Brigade, Bravo 3/17-Burning Stogies.

 50 pieces from 7 woods. Frame-Fishtail Oak, Background-Red Oak, Sword handle-Bloodwood, Eagle and frame-Pernambuco, sword blade-Holly and Ebony, blue background- Blue Mahoe. Fun little project!!

The second project is an original Intarsia rendition  titled "The Wizards Domain". This is the second in the series I am creating for " The Aavegotchi Intarsia Collection, a gaming platform owned by one of my sons. The wizard is a character in the games. This hand drawn project consists of 442 pieces from 32 different natural colored woods. Lots and lots of small pieces , extensive detail carving and texturing bring this piece to life. Fun Stuff.

Those are Awesome, Mike!

Beautiful work Mike!

Great to hear from you again Mike. Worth the wait too. Amazing work. Love the crest insignia. Know nothing about the game aside from one of your previous threads, but I'd say your creative genius captured it well. Amazing detail and the wood color contrasts are spectacular. Much appreciated you sharing with us. Hope all else is well.

 Nicely done Mike & your choice of woods is great.

Thanks everyone for the comments. These were fun to create. I like a good challenge and the 'Wizards Domain" piece was a test of my intarsia  skills and patience . I am about to embark on my next  challenge piece titled-"Woodworker Needs a Shop". If anyone is interested  I would like to do a WIP of this next project from start to finish.  The Fun has just begun

Absolutely Mike. If you have the time to post, I'll definitely be following along.

Please do!  I believe I've learned something from every WIP that's been done here.  I don't have much experience with intarsia, so there's plenty for me to learn.
