Intarsia is best known as a mosaic of wood fitted and glued into a wooden support. Using the complex spirals and whorls that only nature can provide, the graduation of grains and the unique colors of multiple woods are used to create life like subjects. Many of the larger pieces can contain 300 to 500 pieces of individually cut, sanded and glued pieces of wood. Commissioned full wall murals of action scenes or natures backdrops for businesses and home owners are current projects for Against The Grain WoodArt, while pet owners and sentimentalists have been thrilled with the reproductions of their subjects. Custom projects of any size or detail are available as well as patterns for most of the originals pieces.
