Intarsia?? Marquetry?? Church
A year ago I made this church, but never posted it here. After posting a link here to a woodworkers toolshop gallery I got questions how I made the bricks. Therefore I made a blog entry-brick-in-the-wall from how it was done.
That,s also the reason to post this piece here on Craftisian. My question to you is can I call it intarsia?
I thought it would be fun to make a intarsia piece of the church where I on every Friday evening practice on my euphonium with the local wind band. There was a renovation and I could get the Wenge and Parana Pine (old pew) that was left for free. Well for free? As reward I made this piece. The scale is 1:10, and that means a piece of about 1×1mtr. (40×40”) The types of wood I used are: Parana pine, Wenge, Ash, Oak, Auwora and Mahogany.

Thank Jim,Shin and Ian.
Among others Jeff Vandenberg after he had seen my church in the Baptist gallery asked how I made the bricks and that is the reason I posted this piece here last week. And now it is an editor’s choice. Thanks Jeff!

That is staggeringly beautiful work, Dutchy! The blog link is broken. I’d certainly be interested in reading more details about how you did that.
I found your blog here at Craftisian. Ingenious solution.
