MARQUETRY MATTERS

Veneers

To make a marquetry picture, the marqueteur chooses from an extensive selection of veneers from different types of timbers. This not only gives a pallet of colours and shades, it also supplies a vast range of patterns and grains. In fact a single tree log will produce veneers of differing appearance, depending on the method used to slice them from the log.

A small selection of the large number of veneers available for Marquetry, are shown below.
