Two marquetry and inlay projects done and delivered this week
I guess I never got over the elementary school show and tell thing...this is a wall-hanging cabinet for earrings and necklaces. The client called out the dimensions and function of the piece, but for the design, she said, "Surprise me!" The case is birds-eye maple, the door's background is bleached curly maple, the hand is 1/4 sawn maple, the halo behind the flower is walnut crotch and smoked eucalyptus.Tags: None -

The left photo is the one I just created for Hinckley. The compass rose is of holly, walnut burl, mahogany crotch, and wenge. It features the old style Hinckley logo. The right photo shows a previous design in place.Comment

Stunning work as usual!!!
Have you ever done a simple (ie achievable for some of us knuckleheads) instructional thread on here anywhere? I'm keen to try a few projects while I'm working away from home and have bought some Queen Ebony, Mahogany and Huon Pine pieces with me but haven't yet had a go at it so would be very interested to see how you achieve these wonderful works!!Larks

Re: Two marquetry and inlay projects done and delivered this week
Thanks guys, I teach a week or two of marquetry and inlay at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship here in Maine. I've thought I have enough self-taught tricks of the trade to merit writing a how-to book, but that would take some time and energy that I don't have to spare at the moment. Larks, what is Queen Ebony like?Comment
