Animal Portraits in Wood by Neal Moore describes how segmented relief portraiture can be used to create realistic portraits of wildlife. The introduction includes a brief history of segmented portraiture and defines the relationship between segmented work and intarsia, including the idea of inserting cut material to form images.
After the opening guidance on equipment and process, the book moves into step-by-step demonstrations and then a projects section with multiple animal portraits. The instructions reference practical choices such as scroll saw and blade selection, working with patterns, and staining and relief techniques.
