A wood veneer marquetry picture made for @sraksha from one of her drawings. (This picture is mirrored because I'm dumb and glued it with the wrong side facing up)

Cut with the Acmer P2 33W diode laser out of multiple different 0.6mm thick wood veneers. Most of the species used were in their natural state, but this also includes some through dyed and heat treated woods. (Red dyed birch and smoked oak for example)

Simplified process:

- Draw a new or turn an existing picture into a vector file

- Separate the picture into individual "puzzle" pieces, in the example below this was done in Lightburn.

- Different pieces are cut from the chosen woods with the laser, compensating the cut path settings if needed because even the color of wood changes how well it will be cut.

- The pieces are assembled and taped together into a sheet, which is then then glued on to a board (hopefully the right way around), in this case birch plywood.

- Glued piece is carefully sanded and finish applied.

So many pieces

Second practice realisation. This technique uses multiple dyed veneers to achieve the different colour gradients and effect, thus the selection of veneers are important. The pieces are getting smaller and harder to cut accurately.

Here’s one that goes way back to the days when I played around with thin wood! 12 years ago I made this table as an auction donation for the Tacoma School of the Arts. I was embarking on a new business venture and just beginning to get the Madera name out. It was the first of countless charitable projects we have crafted since. One of the great things I like best about making pieces for charity is you can push the design a bit and try out new ideas. In this piece it was the split bent laminated legs! So a few weeks ago I was contacted by the woman who had purchased this table at that auction a dozen years ago. It no longer fit into their decor, they were downsizing and she offered to give it back to me. Really?!? It was like meeting up with an old friend. And for one short moment I thought about reselling it but @ubergeek_mamabear put the kabash on that! Those of you who know me best will see the irony in all this. The rest of you will get it in a week or so. #custommade #customfurniture #customwoodworking #handmade #furnituredesign #furniture #bespoke #interiordesign #entrytable #sofatable #veneering #marquetry #inlays #bentlamination #vacuumbag #bubinga #pearwood #zebrano #forthekids #charitablewoodworking #philanthropicwoodworking #madeintacoma #madeinwa #creatingfineartforliving (at Madera Fine Decorative Furnishings)

My take on a Coat of Arms (or ‘Blason’) with a feline inspiration. If I ever open a pub, I will definitely call it ‘Cat in Arms’. This is the first marquetry piece I made since I came back from Paris. I spent much time gathering the necessary tools, materials and preparing them ready for marquetry. The sequence shows the initial design and tracing the template, cutting of the parts and the base, gluing up, cleaning the piece, and finally polishing.
