-Your book on Intarsia has been a real help to me as I learn to do Intarsia type products. I found your step by step Instructions to be clear and concise covering everything from equipment needed to patterns of projects ranging from beginners to the more complex. The photography is superb as might be expected from an artist. The book has been a joy and an inspiration . Thank you, Glenn H.
I got your new book as soon as it hit the shelves. I’ve made a great deal of great projects from your patterns. Thank you. S. C. Jonesborough, TN
-Recently obtained the book “Intarsia Woodworking Projects” and was very impressed with the high quality of your patterns. P. L. Manchester, ME
-My copy of Kathy's new book just arrived yesterday. WOW ! The pull out patterns are great! Now that's the way to market a book on Intarsia. I can't wait to get started on one of them. They are all so good, it will be hard to decide. I'm leaning toward the Clydesdale Mare and Colt. I have always been fond of horses and this pattern is fantastic. Thanks again Kathy. J.E. Marlton, NJ
-I still can't say enough about this book. The value truly exceeds the price. The patterns are fantastic, the workmanship in the book is exceptional and my expectations were exceeded in all avenues. Keep it up and you surely will win over more devoted wood craftsmen. Continued success. I can't wait for your next book to come out.

-Purchased your book "Kathy Wise Intarsia Woodworking Projects” We found it good value and interest. The hints were helpful. Wish we had them when we first started. Ours was trial and error learning. The patterns are interesting. The color Photographs very helpful to us in choosing our own wood colors, which is in itself a challenge. The hunt to find available timbers in South Australia with grains and colors that will work makes for an outing. R.M. Australia
-Thanks for sending me your pattern book...there are many I would like to try and after seeing some of your work all I can say is "Wow"! I don't know if I can do them the justice! M. A. West Fargo, ND
- This book is perfect for all skill levels. It covers not only the use of the scroll saw but also discusses wood selection, contour sanding, assembly, and finishing. In short, it covers everything you want to learn about Intarsia. The author also does an excellent job of sharing her tricks and methods for developing an intarsia piece. The included designs and design sheets are worth more than the purchase price of the book. This is just one of those great books. Bob (Massachusetts)
- I love this book, my Dad has done many intarsia projects in the past and I wanted to learn to make them too. Kathy's projects are truly beautiful and lifelike, and I hope to be able to advance quickly from beginner to be able to do the lion's head. My penguin and chick is great-- thanks, Kathy. J.D.
- Your Book has really great patterns and the information seems to be very complete. I've purchased a lot of your other patterns and have always found them easy to work with. J.C. Alaska
- We recently purchased your latest book, Intarsia Woodworking Projects, published 2007 and are enjoying it and your patterns. We find them adaptable for beginners, immediate and advanced. We have not yet worked any patterns in this new book but are looking forward to doing so. We especially like the Clydesdale and colt, the eagle, and the calf roper. This really is your best book yet. There are many good tips in the Do's and Don'ts section. Enjoyed the item on Mop Sanding and plan to purchase one in the near future. We have been Intarsia woodworkers for the past five years and have completed well over 300 projects. Looking forward to you new patterns as they come out, and your next book.

- I have purchased an autographed copy of Kathy's new book on Intarsia. Very well done and thought out book. I really like having the patterns available in a sleeve in the back of the book for the projects. Color pictures show the wood selection, and fit of each piece. I do a lot of Intarsia projects and have purchased patterns from Kathy for a few years now. I am especially impressed with the pattern Clydesdale Horse and Colt. In my opinion she has captured everything about the animal, as well as the show harness it is wearing. I know it will be a good selling piece as soon as I make it. Kathy is a fresh new source of good new patterns. Very much recommend this book. M. W.
- I just got and read this new intarsia book. I love it. I love how it divides the projects by skill level and I sure like having the patterns in the separate little pack on the back cover. It's full of wonderful tips, too. Very well written! S. W.(Seattle WA)
- Having done intarsia myself, I can readily appreciate the massive talent and artistry of Kathy Wise. Her current book entitled Intarsia Woodworking Projects in my estimation is great. It is very thorough, easy to understand, and full of helpful tips to make your intarsia experience a pleasant and informative one. I stand in awe of such artistic talent and the patterns in this book go from relatively easy to very challenging. If you enjoy intarsia, this is the book for you. This is a great new talent that will be around a long, long time. A.H. (Baltimore, Md.)
- I found that this book was very helpful for me even after obtaining other Intarsia books. It explains everything in detail and is very easy to follows the suggestions and needed instructions. The patterns that are included are great and a must have for my collection. If just getting started in Intarsia I would recommend this book as a very good place to start. D. H.

I would and will recommend it to beginners or any scroller who wants to improve their abilities at Intarsia. The patterns are well worth the price of the book. I've accomplished many of your designs; you are a true Intarsia Artist. Thank you for a wonderful book; you will certainly be the inspiration for a lot of saw dust in my shop. G. E. Hustontown, PA

- I also want to thank for your common sense introduction to your book. So many pattern makers and Intarsia artists think that Intarsia can only be done their way. I got discouraged with this when I first started out with Intarsia about 20 years ago. C.F. GA

It is incredible to find out all the different techniques you are using compared to what I have been doing on my intarsia projects.
