(Click on the title for more information or to make a purchase)
Explains how veneer is manufactured and how to lay it using simple equipment, and demonstrates the methods of marquetry, discussing in particular saws for cutting intricate details.
A modern guide to veneering for experienced woodworkers, taking in both traditional and vacuum press methods. It covers the entire process, from an examination of how veneer is made, through the tools for cutting and joining, to three major veneering techniques. Four projects are included.
This step-by-step, practical guide for the non-professional covers all areas of veneering: basic methods and techniques, preparing and laying veneers, handling and working veneers, fixing to the base, care and storage, dealing with defects, flattening buckles, fixing blisters and lifted edges, lengthening, and colouring. There are also instructions for creating special decorative effects, from the matching of patterns and cross banding to parquetry and marquetry. Colour photographs and line drawings illustrate the techniques.
