Marquetry is the craft of covering a structural carcass with veneer forming decorative patterns, designs or pictures. The result may be furniture, decorated small objects or free-standing pictures.
Marquetry is created by selecting different types of wood, using its natural grain patterns and colors to create the different colors in the pattern.
From Wikipedia
Intarsia is created by selecting different types of wood, using its natural grain patterns and colors (rather than dyes and stains) to create the different colors in the pattern. Each piece of wood is then individually cut , shaped, and sanded before fitting them together like a jig-saw puzzle and gluing them to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood backing cut to the shape of the final product. Once together, a final layer of finish is applied and the project is complete.

Exciting news: New job!!
Theater carpenter
Last week I started a new job as a carpenter at the city's theater, I'll be doing backdrops/coulisses, props, furnitures and much more. I'm quite excitied to be working much more creative and to be back in a workshop. :yay: (The job I've had for the last year have been reparing stuff at people's houses.)
Hopefully they'll let me photograph what I do and if so, you'll see it :)
New camera
And to celebrate my new job, I went a bought myself a new camera. I couldn't spend too much on it, but I went with Canon EOS 550 D with a 18-135 objective. I'm really satisfied with it. Now I'm waiting for spring so I go out and shoot :)

ArtisanCraft Group
Groups
As you know by now, the new shiney Group-system is in BETA now and lots and lots of clubs are converted to it.
#ArtisanCraft (https://www.deviantart.com/artisancraft) ArtisanCraft (https://www.deviantart.com/artisancraft) has successfully converted to a group and I was delighted to be asked by MyntKat (https://www.deviantart.com/myntkat), who is handling the wheel on that ship now, if I wanted to be part of the club as co-admin again. Of ocurse! I will try to be a little more active, both on the club and on my personal account.
I've only played with the group a little, but man - I love it! The things I've seen is making the life of a group-admin soooo much easier. Way to go, tech team of dA! We salute you!! :heart:

Today we are dissecting Red Tailed Hawk 2 by Bagheera3 (https://www.deviantart.com/bagheera3)
:thumb125509468: :thumb125509249: :thumb125509468:
First off, please introduce yourself?
My name is Bill Douglas and I live in Ontario, Canada. I am 68 years old and I started carving as a hobby, 12 years ago.
Please explain what we are viewing.
This is a red-tailed hawk which I carved from tupelo wood. It is approximately 1/4 life-size. I made it in 2006. It is painted with acrylic paint.
Can you describe for a layman how its made?
