Intarsia refers to the ancient art of wooden mosaics-making pictures in wood. The authors have taken this art form and adapted it for today's woodworker. Using easily available woods and common woodworking tools such as scroll and band saws, the average woodworker can produce beautiful wooden reliefs through step-by-step instruction. The included patterns range from large, majestic portraits and murals to small jewel-like mosaics. Full-color photographs illustrate the beautiful and intricate work possible in the realm of intarsia. Judy Gale Roberts is one of only 10 original inductees elected to the Woodworking Hall of Fame. Jerry Booher is a general machinist and toolmaker. They are the authors of Easy to Make Inlay Wood Projects, Small Intarsia Projects, and Intarsia: Artistry in Wood.
