This pup is adorable... at least by anyone whose shoes he hasn't found! It's an Intarsia sculpture of a Basset (or Beagle?) pup, chewing contentedly on somebody's slipper. This form of woodworking calls for bandsawing the parts to size, shaping them on a belt or disk sander, then gluing them to a backboard or each other. This plan is a great way to get into Intarsia: you get detailed, step-by-step instructions and a full-size pattern.

Approx: 8" wide x 6" high
