Synopsis

Learn the art of making images from wood veneers. This book gives you a thorough introduction to picture marquetry, showing how results of considerable subtlety can be achieved using simple tools and only small amounts of material. The author explains how veneers are made, and how their different grain patterns can be exploited to add texture and detail to the finished picture. He describes and illustrates tools and accessories in detail, including some you can make yourself at very little cost. Two simple and attractive projects - a viola and a dipper - serve to show the two basic techniques of picture marquetry: cutting with the knife, and cutting with the fretsaw using the 'pad' method. You will then learn how to mount the finished work and how to set it off to best advantage with appropriate borders and edges.
