Intarsia
What is Intarsia?
Intarsia refers to a form of art, or woodworking, depending on how you see it, where pictures are created by cutting and fitting together numerous pieces of wood, like the concept of a jig saw puzzle.
It is thought the word "Intarsia" originates from Italy, derived from the Latin verb interserere, "to insert". This makes sense given the fact that the original craftsmen, inserted individual tiles of wood into wall murals and table tops, glued them down in place, and then scraped and sanded the end product. Intarsia was used frequently, as a decorative feature, in many churches of the time. In its purist form only wood is used and only in its natural colors. In other words the appeal of the finished product is a function of picking various exotic colored wood and orienting the grain for maximum affect.
All our Intarsia uses blended woods. Note that we can replicate your automotive or equipment in Intarsia, please contact us for more details.
