Marquetry is a technique where different natural colors of wood
veneers are carefully cut to fit precisely together, creating a
spectacular design in a single sheet or picture. In the mid 16th
century, Italian craftsmen began using marquetry as a furniture
decorating art. Using a technique called the double-bevel cut, the
novice to advanced woodworker is led through a fully illustrated
step-by-step process from the design to the finish. Hundreds of
color photographs demonstrate in detail how to saw your own veneers
out of solid wood planks, the tools and materials required, using
the scroll saw and the fret saw, choosing woods for color and
grain, design tips, shading with hot sand, and finishing. Four
patterns ranging from simple to challenging projects are included
as is an extended gallery of finished works to inspire the
marquetarian in you.
