Since the outside edge of the ear is visible, use 1/8"- ||| thick walnut stock to raise it. Place the ear on the wood ||i and trace its outline (see Fig. 13). Cut out the shim and ;:p| glue it to the backside of the ear.

Put the large shim and pieces of the eye in place |p and draw a pencil line on the raised edge of the lower |p| piece (see Fig. 14). Use the pencil line as a guide to contour the pieces (see Fig. 15). Reassemble and draw ; 1 a pencil line on the edge of the upper part of the eye fill (see Fig. 16). Sand the eyeballs convex, taking care not , i;' to leave any flat spots on them.

When contouring is complete, use a sanding mop to |»| smooth all of the pieces (see Ftg. 17).

I INSTRUCTIONS

| Copy the pattern and cut | the pieces

& Redraw the pattern on tracing paper; |i|p i'|this will allow you to see and utilize the ;; grain configuration when laying out the { {.pieces. Use white transfer paper and a ballpoint pen f:|to trace the project parts on the wood. One of the L; benefits of enjoying intarsia is that you can use the scraps of wood that would normally end up in the trash I (see Fig. 1).

I After cutting out each piece, sand the burr off the P bottom with a hard-backed sanding block. This will Hensure that the pieces lay flat (see Fig. 2). jp Sand the cut edges on the drill press with an auxiliary if table or oscillating spindle sander and drums of a proper f size in order to create a smooth, 90-degree edge for ' i tight fitting joints (see Fig. 3).
