Intarsia means "marquetry" in Italian. The meaning of intarsia has been expanded to include the technique that starts with a thick base wood and creates individual pieces for a three-dimensional effect. Intarsia projects are not surrounded by a background of base wood, unlike other marquetry techniques. Instead, the base wood serves as a background to the individual pieces and surrounds the project.

How To
How to drive a nail through wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Your wrist should be relaxed while you hold the hammer straight upwards. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Repeat this action several times, gradually increasing the speed of the swing. After mastering the technique, you can add power to your swings. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. Keep the nail heads parallel to the board's surfaces in order to avoid splitting wood.
