re: Curious George Intarsia

Thank you all for the interest. Hi Jeff, to tell you the truth I was a little intimidated by it at first; but it’s really not hard at all. I think the hardest part is choosing the project / picture that you want to do. The reason why I ended up doing Curious George was for a little one year old girl that loved him. All you need to do it print out the picture that interests you, “something simple first” so you can get use to the Scroll saw (that’s what I had to do anyways) ;) They also sell the books of course and I have quite a few, but I really like the thought of being creative and finding something that isn’t in a book. Anyways, once you have your picture and your plank of wood, you use a rubber cement spay glue and spray it on the back of your picture. Then very carefully lay it on the plank smoothing it out as much as possible. Let it dry for 5 or 10 mins. then it ready to cut out. Once that’s all done it just a matter of shaping your pieces and putting the puzzle back together again. Also each piece that I wanted stained a different color I did separately, but making sure not to get much on the sides you want to glue together. I also used a type of model glue that is supper strong. Hope this helps.
