What is Intarsia?
Intarsia is a form of wood inlaying that dates back to Europe in
the 15th and 16th centuries. Intarsia uses varied shapes, sizes
and species of wood fitted together to create a mosaic-like,
3-dimensional picture.
Intarsia is created by selecting different types of wood, using
its natural grain patterns and colors (rather than dyes and
stains) to create the different colors in the pattern.
Each piece of wood is then individually cut , shaped, and
sanded before fitting them together like a jig-saw puzzle and
gluing them to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood backing cut to the
shape of the final product.
