With modern equipment and materials, it's easier than ever to use wood veneers for decorative purposes! From tools and adhesives to knife and fretsaw cutting techniques to laying up and finishing borders, all the details of marquetry are here, accompanied by reams of fabulous photos and exploded diagrams. Examine, in close-up, the characteristics and cuts of various veneers. Bevel wood, and "nib" a window for an inset. The many simple-to-follow designs include landscapes; flowers; and a nuthatch on a branch.

Reviews
The art of creating pictures and decorative patterns from slivers of wood veneer goes back thousands of years. Threadgold gives us the historical perspective; examines veneers and their characteristics; surveys tools, equipment, and adhesives; and goes into the details of knife and fretsaw cutting techniques. He includes clearly explicated designs for flowers, a nuthatch on a branch, and landscapes with trees and mountains. With modern equipment, this art is less daunting than it once was. Highly recommended.
