Robin and Kathy Tucker of Wood Mosaics stopped working in town back in 1986. After Robin's intricate wood-inlayed work was featured in The Best of Missouri Hands catalog and commissioned by Ralston Purina, they were on their way to full time crafting. Influenced by Amish quilt patterns, Robin's excellent woodworking uses exotic natural woods that range from Satinwood from Sri Lanka to Purpleheart from Central and South America. All of the wood is completely natural, with only a clear finish added to punctuate the beauty of the wood's innate color.

  • @mentalillnesstalking I was just saying ;-) and now we have communications so not everyone can buy such thing and in Egypt the old ciies are fully made of wood mosaic!! his work still great! again.. I was just saying!

  • Cool it @ferre347. It could have developed at different parts of the world at different times without communication. It's just wood working-a no brainer.

  • what a nice story!!!! I think he summed it all, making beauty rather than commercial product

  • this art was created centuries ago in egypt and is called ÄRABISC he should've done his research on what he is doing!
