Intarsia means "marquetry" in Italian. The site expanded the meaning to include the technique where a thick base is used to start and then create individual pieces that give it a three-dimensional appearance. Intarsia works are different from other marquetry techniques. There is no background of basewood surrounding them. Instead, the project is surrounded by a piece of base wood that serves as a background for the individual pieces.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
