Description
Marquetry is a similar process to Inlay but more usually associated with creating pictures from contrasting wood veneers whereas Parquetry uses repeated geometric wood shapes to create patterns (Parquet flooring for example)
Features and Uses
- If contrasting layers of veneer are held together and sawn as one, using either a Fretsaw or Scroll Saw, the cut is fine enough to enable both shapes and recesses to be cut together thus ensuring that pieces fit together accurately.
- Thin sheets of decorative metals or other materials (e.g. brass, silver, nickel silver, copper, pewter, plastics, horn) can also be included with the veneer 'sandwich' and cut through with a Piercing Saw to make decorative inserts which fit into veneer cut-outs - see opposite the Video: Boulle Marquetry produced by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
- Pieces of veneer can be inserted completely or partially into a tray of hot Silver Sand to create the graduated shading effect as seen on the butterfly's wings.
