Black bear cub

[Silversam]

Almost completed my latest intarsia. Started this a while ago and managed to get a lot done this weekend. Not varnished it yet. It’s a Judy gale Roberts pattern from her wildlife intarsia book. Hope you like it.

That's a corker !!! The fur looks very realistic.

I haven’t used anything other than brush on or spray on varnish Brian. What do you mean by using a wax. Sounds better but I’ve never used any. What would I have to get and where do I buy it Brian. Would like to try it.

Varnish does not always give the result I like and it makes the white wood yellow. Does the wax prevent yellowing.
I have bees wax. I don’t know if that’s any good for finishing.

Just had a look at the tin of wax that I have, got it from Oakland for a oak table. It says it’s a clear wax for hardwood and has beeswax in it. Sounds like this may be ok. I will have to try it out on some scrap wood. I wasn’t keen on the results when I used it on my oak table as it left marks on it no matter how much I buffed it. I wonder if I was putting too much wax on it.

Thanks for the info Brian. Have a few things to buy now lol. Will certainly give this a try. Sounds like the best way to go for a good finish.

Love it! =D>

A close resemblance to the little fella I photographed in Canada last year.

A bit late from me (that "Show latest new posts" thingy in the new Forum software doesn't work very well for me) but I too like you bear a lot - as someone already said, especially the fur. =D>

hi really like the bear and the fur looks realistic, I though you might of used on of the wonder wheels off either jgr or Cathy wise one of them sells them

take care

No I didn’t use a wonder wheel. I used a dremel with a disc attached. The disc came with some attachments I bough for the dremel. I practised first on some scrap wood testing how much pressure to use and the length of the cut. I was pleased how it turned out.
