Intarsia, an Italian word that means marquetry, is the Italian word. The meaning of intarsia has been expanded to include the technique that starts with a thick base wood and creates individual pieces for a three-dimensional effect. Unlike other marquetry techniques, intarsia projects do not have a background field of base wood surrounding them. Instead, the project is surrounded by a piece of base wood that serves as a background for the individual pieces.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
