Book on Marquetry
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

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.
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

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