What is Intarsia anyway?

Well, intarsia are these cool 3D pictures you create by piecing together bits of different color woods and varying their relief to form a scene or picture of a subject. If you've never seen it, try going to Intarsia (http://www.sawbird.com) .
If you want to try it out yourself, you'll need a scrollsaw.:cool:

Jerry needs to get a piece of wood, like his head, and carve out some bits that resemble a brain. Who wants to waste their time creating some dust collecting ugly garage-sale fodder. Everyone knows a scroll saw is one step up from a sewing machine! Bah!

I think I have an aunt Intarsia???

(not a pretty lady, kinda looks like she used a scrollsaw on her face?)
