The Intarsia of Howard Whipple
in·tar·si·a intarsia [ in-tahr-see-uh ]
an elaborate form of marquetry using inlays in wood.
In the case of Howard Whipple, he used small wood inlay to create patterns (usually intricate) in wood turnings...platters, dishes and boxes.
Edgar Whipple (grandson of Howard Whipple) made the presentation which included a display of a large collection of intarsia pieces.
Howard Whipple was active mid last century, but his work lives on in amazingly good condition.
