Veneering, Marquetry, Inlay Books

The Marquetry Course The Marquetry Course book cover

A complete course on the art of marquetry, providing a full introduction to the craft. Illustrated throughout with 200 step-by-step color photographs and diagrams plus photos of finished pieces. Working through the book, the reader will learn how to use tools and materials by carrying out basic exercises aimed at developing techniques. This leads to the main content of the book: exercises with step-by-step illustrations and instructions on the ten designs considered to be the classical marquetry standards, including the compass rose, floral design, shells, the chess board and the Louis cube. The final section of the book has four furniture projects incorporating marquetry: the oval gallery tray, half-round occasional table, jewelry box, and fire screen. Some of the latest and innovative marquetry techniques are included, such as the template method for making the fans... pressing veneers in two stages; and chevron parquetry design. Written by two expert teachers, this is an ideal book for students of furniture making and furniture restoration as well as hobbyists. By Jack Metcalfe and John Apps.
