Fine Woodworking Projects and Intarsia Patterns Book

Intarsia Down Under

is a comprehensive introduction to the Art of Intarsia written from an Australian point of view.

The Australian Woodworker magazine doesn't think the book is too bad.

"It's an attractive book in full colour, with lots of good photographs (and we mean lots!). The author, the very talented Intarsia artist Steve Bundred, definitely believes in the theory that a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this instance it works."

Patterns for Nine Projects with step by step instructions are included in the book.

The 9 included patterns, shown below, are graded from very simple to a bit more difficult, but not too tricky. Each project builds on the previous one and introduces new concepts one at a time. For instance

The first couple of projects, the Flying Kangaroo and the Wallaby, use one timber
The Koala Mum with Baby and the Koala Dad have more timbers
The Lazy Kangaroo begins a 3D effect
The Swaggy introduces double cutting
The Egret Mirror incorporates other woodworking skills to make the circular frame
and the Bikie takes the 3D effect to its intarsia limit
