Hey wow thanks a bunch for the comments everyone! These were fun to do. The past two weeks I've been working out of town a lot and on the run so I haven't been able to work any stone. Hope to start some new ones soon!

Technically my first intarsia was the 'Victoria Sunrise' I did last September in this thread forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=ccabs&action=display&thread=25225
though it was a bit different as I used a dremel tool to channel it out.

Thanks again, I really appreciate you guys! ;D

I love the Brazilian. It's so symmetrical and perfect. I can't see any seams that dispel the illusion that it came out of the ground like that. There other two are incredible workmanship but they are also visually exhausting. My eyes dance around them trying to figure out what to look at.

Especially like the Brazilian. Check out the two-sided pendant in the new Rock & Gem, July p8. Four layers (two mirror, two rock) and the whole thing is 3/16" thick! Rich

I have heard intarsia has been around for 40 years. Nice to see it brought back to life again. Keep it up and thanks for showing your work!
