Here's a unique twist on wildlife intarsia... Ron Bovillc of Boville's Bandsaw in Hartford, WI, has been designing intarsia tables (such as those pictured here) for close to fifteen years. An avid fisherman and hunter, Ron also spends a good deal of his time working with his scroll saw; he says that the quickest he could design one of these projects would probably be three weeks, but only if he gave it almost all of his time! They are clearly well worth the effort, Ron.

A great addition to any cabi n or rec room, the designs on these tables incorporate primarily soft woods such as pine and cedar, though for adding interest through color

sometimes works with purple heart or various exotic woods. The intarsia piece is in a pre-made oak frame ; tables' legs are also pre-made from oak) with a 1/4"-piece of tempered glass on top and an 1/8" backer board underneath. To prevent damage from spills or other such hazards, Ron includes a layer of silicone under the glass. Each table, on average, weighs about 20 pounds.
