Intarsia Woodworking for Beginners

Excellent book, graded lessons and much more for novice and experienced.

This book truly deserves a good review. I bought this for my Dad who has been doing woodwork all his life and whom, now in retirement, is experimenting with fun projects. He is very impressed with this book! It has inspired him, and given him a new burst of joy. Having looked through the book myself- I think it is extremely well laid out, with excellent photos and easy step by step instructions and a little list of materials needed for each project. Very well done to the author. It’s a gem!

Fantastic when you learne how to do them, and cheep home made pressys for everyone next year. Save a fortune. Cheers. June

This is a good starter book for anyone wanting to get into intarsia for the first time.

This product was a gift for my husband who was very pleased with its contents

All one could wish for to produce excellent pieces. I bought this for my uncle who is a long time toymaker and he loved it - taught him a few useful techniques.

Loved this book it was a very nicely layout

Good book with many very useful patterns

What a great instructional text! Pictures are clear and in color, instructions and steps are clear and understandable with accompanying pictures to explain things a little better, and there are check in points along the way to make sure you are on track. Very happy with my purchase and am excited to start with the first project.

I bought this book as a birthday present for a woodworking friend. He had been thinking about trying marquetry but loves the three dimensional aspect the pictures. He have a problem sourcing nice wood where we live.

Sehr schöne Motive, deren Herstellung schrittweise erläutert wird. Auch für "Nichtamerikaner", die der englischen Sprache nicht mächtig sind, verständlich. Die verwendeten Holzarten tw. im Netz nachlesen und durch einheimische Hölzer ersetzen.

I like that before we order books that we can see inside. I was able to make a good decision , it is a very nice book. Just what I was looking for. Nice patterns and instructions. Thank You

Se vi piacciono gli animali e il legno, non c'è niente di meglio delle opere di Kathy Wise nell'ambito del tarsio. Il libro può considerarsi il primo di due volumi (il secondo è Intarsia Woodworking Projects), infatti parte dalla base di come si setta il traforo e i primi esercizi di taglio (per imparare ad usare il traforo) fino a progetti di media complessità sempre della stessa artista. Se fate una ricerca su Google, buona parte delle immagini propongono opere di Kathy Wise, molte sono presenti in questo e nel volume successivo.
