I have been sculpting dogs and other animals professionally for over 30 years. I have written three Intarsia Books and over 54 articles for Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine featuring my unique pattern designs. I first began designing intarsia patterns for my father-in-law over 20 years ago. When one of his customers would ask for a hard to find dog breed or a special custom intarsia of their pet, I would create the pattern. The customers loved their unique intarsia pieces and I realized there was a demand for uncommon patterns. I offer a wide variety of dog breeds, cats, horses & wildlife. I likeincorporating different colors and interesting grains in my intarsia. Depth is important in myIntarsia and is achieved by using shims and thick wood. I enjoy creating large custom intarsia murals. Go to my web site to see more :

I have designed many custom patterns from photos for different intarsia artists, withsubjects ranging from dogs to alpacas. All of these patterns were not tested prior to sending to my customers. Every client was very pleased with the pattern & finished piece. Many of these are included in my catalog. Some of the new patterns in mycatalog have not yet been produced in wood. This approach in creating intarsia patterns enables me to supply a wide selection of unique and seldom found patterns to intarsia artists. Most of my patterns are designed for intermediate to advanced woodworkers who have some experience in working with intarsia.I do not include a color photo of the finished piece. I use a gray scale thumbnail of the pattern to indicate the lights and darks in the pattern. Many intarsia artists like to pick out the type and color of their wood according to personal preference and what is available locally. I believe a pattern should be a starting point for woodworkers... each intarsiapiece you produce is a unique and creative vision created by you, the Intarsia artist.
