    Default Marquetry "The Singing Butler "

    This is the marquetry version of Jack Vettriano's famous painting "the singing butler". Size: 9x11" for the marquetry, 16x19" for the frame. material: more than a dozen types of wood veneers. Finish: mineral oil + varnish. It took me the whole winter to finish this piece.


    compare the original painting and my work

    Very nice piece!

    How did you convert the original image into segments suitable for marquetry? Did you use software, some kind of technique or just raw talent?

    I don't use software. I only rely on human power to do marquetry. However I don't mind using dyed colorful veneers .
