Excerpt from Scroll Saw Magazine's Best Project Design Contest 2009: Intarsia; People's Choice

Nick Berchtold of Perkin, Ill., said this image was just swimming around in his head, so he decided to recreate it in wood.

“All of the ideas came out of my head, except for the fish, which I tried to make as close to the real thing as possible,” Nick explained. “Measuring 65" by 42", it is the biggest piece I have made so far.” Nick spent four months working on the project.

“It was like having a full-time job over my summer break,” Nick said.

Nick did not use any stains on the project. He used more than 50 different woods, including everything from pink ivory to pine 2x4s. The piece was finished with polyurethane.
