Jim Everett, the artist of Jim's Artistry in Wood, first encountered the art form of Intarsia while reading an article in Wood magazine.

The article fascinated him, and Jim decided to try turning his lifetime love of sketching and woodworking into an art form like Intarsia.  After using the pattern in the article, he found out he COULD do it and has been creating artistry in wood ever since.
Jim now creates all his own patterns, and deviates from the style of the original art form of Intarsia.

Jim uses ONLY Western Red Cedar for the art work, as all the colors you need are in the cedar. No stain is used, so the challenge is in the choice of colors available. Knots are used for eyes in all subjects, be it human, animal, fish or birds.

All work is custom created for each client, after which the patterns are destroyed. This makes each piece a one-of-a-kind heirloom.

Jim has been doing this art form for about 12 years, and has recently taken it up a notch by creating functional art, such as interior & exterior doors, cabinet doors, and many other off the wall pieces.

Carving and wood burning are also included to create new, unusual, and innovative projects.
