Just finished this intarsia bull head.

Used a mix of woods for the different tones and cut each piece separately before fitting it together. The horns and facial curves needed a bit of adjusting to get everything sitting right, especially with the grain direction.

I usually design my own scroll saw/intarsia pieces with the cutting and fit in mind before I start building them.

Pretty happy with how this one came out.

I’ve been messing around with simpler intarsia patterns lately.

This deer was my latest test. I tried to keep the main shapes bigger and avoid the tiny cuts that make a project annoying halfway through.

Still not sure where the sweet spot is though.

For anyone who does scroll saw or intarsia work, do you prefer cleaner/simple patterns, or more detailed ones even if they take a lot longer?
