Extract from back cover of book:

Recreate the depth and perspective of relief carving with a classic inlay technique.

Intarsia involves cutting different grained, textured and coloured woods into thin pieces, then reassembling them to form an intricate, dimensional design. While you can create intarsia designs using hand tools and supplies like a fret saw and sand paper, power tools such as a band or scroll saw make it quicker and easier. Wood burning will add interesting detail to your work. Complete the imaginative projects inside, from simple flowers to an exceptional 74-piece motorcycle, to take your woodworking skills to the next level
