Intarsia Top - Picture

Once you have chosen your design, enlarge it on a copy machine in the office. It has to be large enough to cover the top but not extend beyond its dimensions. You must simplify it because the pieces will be too small. Once you have the desired design, you will need at least 4 copies.

Intarsia Top

You should start planning your intarsia top. Do an internet research on intarsia and find a picture you like. Another source would be coloring books. Size the picture to the dimensions of your top.

Time is running out!

Since the end of the 1st semester is approaching quickly, I decided to change the requirements of the finger/box joint box. It was to have wooden hinges. I am changing this to store bought hinges. The small brass ones you see at any hardware store. Get ones that are 1" or less in length.
