I recently did a workshop with American master Silas Kopf, who uses a scrollsaw or fretsaw rather than a knife. This is a change as I have always used a knife, and it seems to be more accurate and certainly faster. It also means that I can use thicker veneers (I cut my own from offcuts).
This is my first attempt after the workshop. There are a few things I still need to get right, and like all things, it's practice, practice, practice.
Once I'm happy that I can get it right consistently, I might look at doing some boxes with marquetry lids.
