My brother in law has put in for a book on marquetry for Christmas. He is skilled with wood and now wants to give marquetry a go.
Any suggestions please.
Also any bookshop who specialise in woodworking or have a good range.
thanks
John

If he is interested in 'Applied' marquetry, then you can't go past 'The Marquetry Course' by Metcalfe and Apps.

Silas Kopf's book and dvd is a bit of an eye opener.

Pity he's not in Brizzy, you could shout him a weekend workshop.
However the book suggested is a very good guide with some good projects.

Thanks Michael,
I think the book you refer to is A Marquetry Odyssey. I will look for this one as well.
Silas Kopf has a podcast which shows his work and techniques at
Furnitology Productions: Silas Kopf ........a day in marquetry (http://furnitology.blogspot.com/2008/11/silas-kopf-day-in-marquetry.html)
Well worth a look.
