Girl Drinking From Fountain - a photo on Flickriver

This is a wood inlay created by my wife's Grandfather. Born in Alsace-Lorraine in 1895, he was a man of many talents and hobbies.

One of several works that he left us, this one depicts a jeune fille (young girl) standing on her 'tippy-toes' getting a drink from a fountain. Her waterskin lies on the ground. Various types of wood veneer were used in the making of this piece.

A description of Wood Inlay by Marina Chernyak:
"This is an art that calls for a high level of patience and artistry. The designs are first drawn on the material that is used for the inlay, be it wood, metal, or shell. The cutting out of these designs from the whole material is a very cumbersome task. A delicate saw called coping saw is used for this.

The carefully cut pieces are then sorted out and kept aside. Now it is time for drawing the intricate design on the base surface. The carving out of niches in this design is another job that requires patience and skill. The niches should be perfect beds for the previously cut pieces.

The third step is inserting the cut pieces of inlay into the slots. When all the pieces are inserted into the niches, it will collectively produce a magnificent work of art. The smoothening and polishing the surface will perfect the images."
