Intarsia in Italian is the Italian name for marquetry. The meaning of intarsia has been expanded to include the technique that starts with a thick base wood and creates individual pieces for a three-dimensional effect. Intarsia is not like other marquetry methods. They do not have a background layer of wood around them. Instead, the base wood serves as a background to the individual pieces and surrounds the project.

How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried properly, clamp the pieces together to make sure they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
