What is this process called?
Gday all
I stumbled across a video once.
2 identical (dimensioned) boards of different woods were stacked.
You cut through the stack in what ever pattern you like.
Because the cuts are identical, you can mix and match and end up with 2 boards of alternating wood types.
I'm trying to find more videos with this method, but do not know the process name.
Thinking I can make some funky clock faces.
I have tried stack and match cutting but not coming up with much.
cheers Bob

It's called Boulle work after the frenchman who popularised it. Can be done with various woods, or with wood & metal.

This gentleman runs a blog that's all about the method of marquetry you're talking about. I'd say its seperate from Boulle work, as although it uses more or less the same techniques, Boulle tends to focus more on metals and tortoiseshell, often with a lot of chasing and engraving later on.
