Girl 1 - marquetry. 21″ x 21″

This piece includes wenge, carpathian elm burl, honduras rosewood, luaun, pear, plaintree, maple and ash.

I just completed this piece of marquetry consisting of 8 veneers. Each veneer reflects light differently depending on the angle of the light source. Here I have the piece on a carousel in the morning sun. Watch how the colors and light values change as it rotates.

My current project: portrait of a little girl using 8 varieties of natural wood veneer. Original photography by Renee Glick.

Here is a piece I did for a doctor friend who suggested the collage idea. After I explained the process for creating a marquetry piece he insisted that I develop a piece that illustrates that process. The piece includes a premiere-partie, and a contra-partie, both generated from a single cutting session. Also included are the line drawing that served as a cutting template, a veneer selection palette, the original color photograph, a posterized version of the photo and photos of me cutting a packet and assembling veneer pieces....and my signature in marquetry using walnut burl and eucalyptus.
