Existing books on marquetry tend either to be outdated in their presentation and technical approach or are extremely specialist and aimed at the experienced or professional marquetarian. This practical book is fully up-to-date and explains all the techniques of marquetry, parquetry and inlaid wood in detail. It is sure to appeal to practising and potential marquetarians as well as those interested in ornamenting furniture. The contents include basic and more specialist tools, veneers - how to identify them and how to use them to give depth and perspective, all the techniques, mounting, polishing and applied marquetry. The authors show how to put all this into practice with a series of applied marquetry projects, complete with plans and step-by-step photographs.
