Not a Merino Intarsia Pattern
Not a Merino Intarsia Pattern
They used to say that Australia rode on the sheeps back. Specifically Merino sheep that have white wool.
So this multi-coloured example must be another breed. Not a Merino.
A great project for using up all those odds and sods of left over timber pieces..
Use as many different timber colours as you can. Including some dark ones for contrast
This project is made in three simple layers that are glued on top of each other. Easy to construct and gives a great 3D look.
