The Italian word for marquetry is intarsia. 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 works are different from other marquetry techniques. There is no background of basewood surrounding 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 help you join two pieces of wooden 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. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
