Hi,
Here's a quick Intarsia project I have made inbetween the big stuff, Its made from Iroko,Sycamore/Walnut and Beech and has real metal mesh on the feeder. It measures approx 16" x 8" x 3" and I used a 3" round stob (Fence post) for the inside of the feeder (sliced in half)
A nice little project and love the Iroko for the red squirrel the colour works well. My next project is a large Horse and then its the Giant Kite.

Cheers
Brian

Cheers Terry, No the pattern is a Judy Gale Roberts one but I have changed the feeder so it looks more like the ones we have here in Scotland (hers is much taller with no wire mesh)

Cheers
