I've never been a fan of mixing natural timber intarsia and paint. I always though the paint distracted from the natural timber colours. Best avoided.
I was given this about 10 years ago and never really liked it. The woodworker thought I should add it as one of my plans for sale. I wasn't tempted. It's been hanging on the wall in a dusty corner of the workshop since then, completely ignored. When Pat sent me his image I dusted this one off and took a picture.
To be fair to the maker it's been very accurately cut out and the paint has been applied well. But it still doesn't really do anything for me. Sorry.
Thanks goodness for the Pats of this world.
