Intarsia is a beautiful three dimensional mosaic wall hanging
| | | | For all those romantics out there | |  |  |
 This is an ancient woodcraft which was the basis for Wood Art, Marquetry and Wood-inlay craftwork, of years ago!
We are happy that you have decided to visit our new Internet site.
At Pictures In Wood we specialize in creating and designing unusual Wood Art projects of our own design, as well as using patterns from the USA. More recently have been commissioned to make useful Scrollsaw projects for the Home and Garden.
Every handcrafted piece is unique, as no two pieces of wood are the same.
As a small high quality business, we want to give you the opportunity to stay up to date with our Pictures In Wood. By viewing our online Brochure.
Our designs range from our own British Birds and Animals, to fun things even rare and exotic species from faraway lands.

We like to think of it as decorative ' Pictures In Wood' more life - like than paintings, because of the three dimensional appearance.
The pieces are individually cut out of wood, paying particular attention to the arrangement and direction of the grain. We use mostly Pine, because it is environmentally friendly and a renewable source.
When it comes to sanding, we try to visualise the project as if it were real. |  | | |
The pieces are stained, using various acrylic mediums, still allowing the grain of the wood to show through, then two coats of polish are applied.
The pieces are then placed together and glued on a plywood backing to form a picture, so creating a lasting work of art.
If you would like some special Wood Art just for you?
You can commission us, as we find commissions are a welcome challenge.
All we need is a photo or picture, with the size and colours you would like.
We will email you back, with how much and how long.

We have taken the concept of the classic chess set a stage further by adopting appropriate leaf shapes for the pieces. The great English oak leaf represents the King, a leaf from the invasive tree of heaven suits the free-roving Queen, with a maple leaf for the Bishop, a prickly hawthorn for the Knight, a tulip tree leaf for the Rook and the simple lines of the lime for the Pawns.
All the pieces are cut using the Compound scrollsawing method, using ash and walnut to achieve the traditional contrast of light and dark within the set, and the board is fashioned from obeche and walnut. | |  | |  | |
