Wednesday Woodworking – Back to Marquetry

Posted on 04/22/2015 by Andrew Reynolds

I am back doing some marquetry.  I plan to do more this year.  This is a piece that I’ll working on at a club workshop this weekend.  More about that next week.  For now here are a couple of progress pictures:

The piece is 2 inches high by 12 long. The is after the first cut.

All the pieces cut. Now it's a little jigsaw puzzle.

Just a short post this week.  My shop time has been limited since I am still spending a lot of my creative time editing my book.

If you need me – I’ll be in the shop,

        Thank you Andrew for your kind words. They are much appreciated. They are not little things that you do but are equally important in the bigger scheme of things. Be well

    Before retirement, I worked as a professional calligrapher….do you ever do that kind of lettering carved in wood?

      I am not much of a woodcarver, but I have done some script and lettering with veneer and using the scroll saw. Don’t think I have any pictures of that piece.
