Synopsis:
Master furniture craftsman Craig Vandall Stevens takes you from novice to advanced woodworker with this illustrated guide to marquetry, 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.
About the Author: Craig Vandall Stevens has a studio in Sudbury, Ohio. In addition to creating fine furniture, he regularly teaches his craft at workshops in the United States and Japan. This is his fourth book with Schiffer Publishing.
