    Default Mice

    Thought I would make an Intarsia piece. First attempt so kept the subject matter easy. I did however alter it and made it free standing and also added a clock. All the wood came from the scrap bin known woods are beech, ash, olive and oak the wood for the mice is the only unknown wood it came from a garden table.

    I am not sure about the time as I was making this amoung other bits and pieces.What I do is work on something and while the glue or finish is drying and even waiting for bits to arrive I work on other jobs such as this. At a very rough guess about 72hrs work but then i am slow as this is a first. Have learnt alot through different web sites.
    Have a go and have fun pick something easy look at the forth post down there is a PDF to this project https://www.woodworkforums.com/f61/in...rcycle-157964/

    Do they turn round and go the other way in 50 minutes?
