Hi, and welcome to my website. My name is Steve Wavro and
I started doing Intarsia in 2004. Intarsia can be described as a form of art which utilizes varied
species of wood, which are cut, sanded, and fit together to create an almost 3-D, mosaic-like picture. I
have learned a lot between my first project (a simple flower comprized of 5 pieces) and one of my more recent projects
(a whole basket of flowers comprised of over 400 pieces).
Most of my projects are displayed in my home or office, but I have made many others as gifts
for very special people or to donate to charity auctions. I do on occassion accept commissions if my schedule allows
and the price is fair. A fair price for consignment work ranges between $2.50 - 4.50 per individual piece of the project
(i.e. a project comprised of 50 pieces would be in the $125-225 depending on the types of wood species used, pattern cost,
and complexity of design).
I am an active member of the Wood Workers Club of Houston where I am currently serving on the club's board of directors.
In 2006, I was pleased to be voted as the club's Wood Worker of the Year.
