You love your pet and capture her/his countless photos on different occasions. Have you thought of immortalizing your pet in the form of a carved piece of art? Yes, you can do that.

You can do the same for another pet lover you know and gift her/him with such a personalized gift with the image of their beloved pet on it. Let’s see how you can do that.
Intarsia is a rare and unique art of wood inlaying. It dates back to the 7th century. It’s a woodworking technique making use of different sizes, shapes and species of wood joined together to form a mosaic-like image with an illusion of depth. After selecting wood or different wood pieces, each piece is cut, shaped and finished individually, and fitted together to form a brilliant picture. Even watching the process of how the artist fits the pieces into each other like that in a jig-saw puzzle is extremely amusing and you can see it in the video below.
