    Very nice. I am getting the impression that she is sitting in the mud while putting on her boots.

    G'day Bob, You snuck this one in between the two Chopper's. Your becoming a bit of a legend at intarsia. Well done mate. One question, what timber is the girl's jacket? It is a most unusual colour. Cheer's Jim.

    Hi jim thanks for the kind comments the jacket called for some red coloured wood the nearest I had was sapele which wasnt red enough so my wife suggested using a bit of red food colouring i dont normally like using dyes and stains but I think it worked well on this one

    No worries Bob. I can trump that, my GGM on my mothers side came from Kent. My sister spends a lot of time in UK as well, she and BIL have a house near Basingstoke I think, not that far from you. Small world isn't it!!
    Is your niece studying here or married to an Aussie?

    Cheers, Ian

    I go away for a long weekend and you go and put up another great piece of intarsia Bob.

    Have you tried spirit stain buy a trial pack from Axminster you can even mix them to make colours. Mind you rubber gloves are a must a B****R to get it off your hands.
