The Fine Art of Marquetry: Creating Images in Wood Using Sawn Veneers

Open this book and master furniture craftsman Craig Vandall Stevens takes you from novice to advanced woodworker with this illustrated guide to marquetry. Marquetry is a technique where different colors of wood veneers are carefully cut to fit precisely together, forming a single sheet of veneer.

Explore your creative potential and learn the essential elements of marquetry: using a fret saw, sawing your own veneers from solid wood planks, the tools and materials required for marquetry, choosing wood, design, shading with hot sand, and applying a shellac finish. Finally, follow Stevens as he demonstrates making a beautiful, simple box with a marquetry top.
