  Here at karenscraftshop, Karen specializes in the Intarsia form of wood art. What started out as a simple hobby has lead to this wonderful method of expression. From a simple low budget scroll saw, all "by hand" sanding and shaping, Karen has steadily increased her knowledge and capabilities, as well as her tool types to be able to produce some of the beautiful pieces of scroll saw work you'll see here. Please spend some time looking through the various works of Intarsia art in the following pages. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
 
If you have a custom request for a particular piece of artwork you'd like to have done,
please make sure to contact her here for more information.

Long Stemmed Roses

Yellow Stemmed Rose Red Stemmed Rose
 Two varieties of long stemmed roses. They are actually the same pattern but of different wood species. This is a good example of how the blending of the colors can turn the Intarsia into such works of beauty. These are orderable as single items or the pattern may be reversed to make a matching accent pair.
