Last few nights have been getting better only 90 or so in the garage have decided to start a new intarsia project "Remembrance" pattern designed by Bruce Worthington. I have loved this angel since I first saw it and had bought the pattern about a year ago. Not sure what I will do with this piece maybe auction it at the Fall Festival or maybe a Christmas present for someone very very special. It is going to be a lot of work and a lot of pieces.

I have decided to make the wings a curly hard maple, the dress from a really nice figured cherry, the skin will be sycamore (my favorite skin wood), and for the base I will use some spalted (damaged by a fungus) maple  not sure about the pillar, her hair or flowers just yet. 

I have made my copies of the pattern attached some of them to my wood and I have already cut the wing, skin, and top of the dress.

I have removed the pattern off the skin as there are no more cuts there. I plan on cutting out the major sections then cutting those up into smaller pieces I figure it will take about  2 weeks of evening garage time to cut it all out. Then the shaping and sanding. Ill try and keep posting progress as I go.
