Marquetry

Marquetry

I was introduced to Marquetry, in 1954 in England after receiving a hobby veneer kit as a Christmas present. From that time until now, Marquetry, or inlay as it is referred to by many people, has been my hobby; some would say my second career. This "hobby" has taken on a life of its own introducing me to the many highly talented craftsman and all aspects of fine furniture making.Like any hobby it is necessary to be challenged, to this end I have tackled restoration projects that furniture refinishers were afraid to touch, many examples of which you can see in the gallery.My other Career has been as the President of a Manufacturing company designing automated equipment. Marquetry
