Marquetry
These pictures show examples of marquetry I have created. Marquetry is the art of cutting wood veneers to form an image. It can be used to decorate furniture. Different methods exist for creating marquetry. I use the double-bevel method, which allows more detailed images than other methods. Although there are automated/laser-cut methods for marquetry, all my marquetry work is done by hand.
