Intarsia, an Italian word that means marquetry, is the Italian word. The site expanded the meaning to include the technique where a thick base is used to start and then create individual pieces that give it a three-dimensional appearance. Intarsia projects have no background area of basewood around them, which is a departure from other marquetry techniques. The project is surrounded instead by a piece or base wood that acts as a backdrop for each individual piece.

How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. A red dot is created by the laser. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
