Hi Guys/Gals

Just so new at this craft/skill I don't even have a scroll saw YET :oo:

And that's O.K. I just joined a woodworking shop up in my community and they require me to be instructed on all power tools and machinery. Good deal :wink:

I don't have to buy lots of tools and machinery that they have allready.

Some Questions Please:

1. How thick should my wood Intarsia should be ?
( I want to do a Mustang Horse Head )

2. Any tips on sanding, the right way instead of my way (Frank Sinatra) :)
Seriously though, I'd like to learn your way to do it right.

3. What about finishing the project and putting it all together i.e. Glue/ or Backing of
some kind ?

Finally, what about STAINING ? or What kind of oil to bring out the paint ?

Thanks Gang
