Intarsia, an Italian word that means marquetry, is the Italian word. The site expanded the meaning to include the technique where a thick base is used to start and then create individual pieces that give it a three-dimensional appearance. Intarsia works are different from other marquetry techniques. There is no background of basewood surrounding them. The project is surrounded instead by a piece or base wood that acts as a backdrop for each individual piece.

First you will need to drill starter holes in order to cut the wood. The holes should be situated at least 1/4" from the inside edge of the wood. To drill the holes, you will need to use 5mm drill tips. After the holes have been drilled, insert your scroll saw blade. Cut straight lines first, and curves last. Remove all dust from wood after it has been cut. After the wood is cut, you can start the marting process.

FAQ
What's the difference between plywood vs particle board?
Plywood consists of layers made from wood and pressed together by pressure. Plywood can come in many thicknesses and is used for flooring and cabinets. Particle board consists of sawdust mixed and resin. The resin is then compressed into large blocks. It's often used for home renovation projects. Both boards are strong and can be easily cut.
Where do I get my woodworking supplies?
There are many places that you can find all the information you need. You can visit your local hardware stores, or you can look online at sites like Amazon.com.
You can also look for used furniture at flea markets or garage sales.
How long does a piece take to finish?
It depends on which wood you choose, how complicated your design is and what amount of finishing you apply. For example, hardwoods require more maintenance than softwoods. Hardwoods are also more expensive than softwoods. They are more durable and can withstand moisture better. It takes between one and three months to finish a piece.
How can I tell what kind of wood I am working with?
When purchasing wood, always check the label. The label should include information about the wood species and its moisture content as well as whether or not it has been treated using preservatives.
What types of woods are best for furniture making?
Woods are classified based on their hardness. Softwoods include cedar, pine, cedar, and Cypress. Because they resist rot, softwoods can be used to make outdoor furniture. The hardwoods are oak, maple and mahogany. They are generally indoors as they don't weather well outside.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. A red dot is created by the laser. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
