Basic Marquetry and Beyond: Expert Techniques for Crafting Beautiful Images with Veneer and Inlay

During todayâ€™s tighter economic and environmentally conscious times, veneers offer a rich, but inexpensive, option for creating stunning works while preserving precious forests. Veneer is also extremely easy to work with and requires nothing more than a simple scroll or hand-held fret saw.
