Veneering, Marquetry and Inlay - A Practical Instruction Book in the Art of Decorating Woodwork by These Methods

This is a practical instruction book in the art of decorating woodwork, with information on veneering, marquetry, and inlay. A profusely illustrated and highly accessible handbook, 'Veneering, Marquetry and Inlay' is ideal for novices with an interest in decorative woodwork, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: 'Introduction, Preparation of Work, Tools', 'Cutting, Laying, Jointing', 'Curved Work, Cross-Banding, Stringing', 'Inlaying: Design and Practice', 'Natural Forms in Filling Spaces', 'Parquetry and Intarsia', and 'Marquetry'. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on decorative woodwork.
