Thread: Book on Marquetry

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

Thanks Chris,
From the reviews on line this is just what we are looking for.
cheers

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

Cheers

Any suggestions please.
Also any bookshop who specialise in woodworking or have a good range.
thanks

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.

Cheers

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
Well worth a look.
cheers

Thanks toolbagPLUS

Are there marquetry courses in the Sydney region.

Try the Marquetry Guild of NSW. The secretary is Lyn Stewart, and she can be contacted at
