Background or History of Marquetry

Stuff Whereof Marquetry is Made

Materials like bone, ivory, turtle shells, brass, colored straw, and mother of pearl are used on top of the veneers.  These stuffs are used as inlays to create magnificent patterns and designs.  Inlay work, when done beautifully, takes time and effort to be perfected.

Spectrum of Veneers

Shades of veneers vary - light wood veneers, medium wood veneers, dark wood veneers, soft wood veneers, and hard wood veneers.

Worth of the Kind of Wood

The wood bein used is classified as worthy and less worthy and these veneers are then made available at sundry sums.  Marquetarians are very narrow about the kind of wood they work with and in some cases they pick only wood veneers that they particularly like.

Mahogany, rose, burl walnut, fire side walnut, and circassian walnut are considered worthy kinds of wood.  Each of these kinds of wood has varyin grain patterns and they are being sawn in sundry ways. The marquetry works done on these woods are very exotic makin them to be very worthy.

Categorized as less worthy include elm, pine, oak, and spruce.  Hard and soft wood veneers are bein used in products more often. If a wood has straight grains, it is referred to as soft wood.  Pine and the pale knotted wood are good examples.

Hard wood is usually dense and the grains are closer to each other. Rose wood and maple wood are excellent examples.  Hard wood also has coarser grains.  This kind of wood is mostly used in makin furniture.

What Kinds of Tools are Used?

Marquetarians used a variety of tools in marquetry - fret saw, knives, scalpels, blades, and more modern ones use laser tools.  With advanced technology, more modern tools are bein used in the makin of marquetry art.  Many traditional tools used before have also undergone big betterments.

A Fine Technique!

It's now common to use the double bevel marquetry technique. With a scroll saw, the table is tilted at a particular angle in order to achieve this technique.

Parquetry Unlike Marquetry

Parquetry is another art, but this uses straight linear and geometrical patterns.

The Boulle

The Boulle technique involves cuttin the elements of the pattern along with simultaneous makin of the background.

The Classic Method

The classic method, however, involves makin the patterns separately without the background.  The woods used in makin these designs are specially chosen.  Burl wood is commonly used for this purpose.

New Way

In the past, to cut out veneers, the hammerin veneerin method was bein used.  For all types of wood, the same tools were used but the way they are handled vary according to the designs.

Nowadays a technique called braided wood veneerin is used.  The veneer used can either be matte finished or laminated.  Marquetry work done with these types of veneers can be very worthy.

Ancient and Modern Tools Utilized in Marquetry

by Guest Writer

As a decorative art form, Marquetry has been around for a long time.  Wood based veneers are used quite a bit in the creation of unique designs.  Woods of sundry hues and textures are used to make these veneers.

Despite the labor that goes into Marquetry, the final product is extremely satisfying.  There are many kinds of tools in Marquetry and their use depends on the kind of wood you are utilizin, the techniques and the size of the veneers you are workin with.  Ancient tools of Marquetry have evolved a great deal to make them more accurate.

Marquetry Donkey

Startin in French workshops is the Chevalet de Marqueterie or the Marquetry Donkey.  Woodcraftsmen who worked with this tool could do some real fine precision cuttin with it.  This tool was a saw frame that could be operated by hand and could give lines as delicate as a 1/250th of an inch wide.

Boulle School

Ecole Boulle in Paris still uses this Marquetry Donkey.  Students learn the French method of Marquetry with this tool.  What is great about it is that you can work for long hours on it comfortably.

The Ecole Boulle also uses the overhead jigsaw to teach its students.  This has a leather belt that can cut up to a 180 strokes a minute.  This is ideal for big makins that measure 5ft or more.

It is great for accurate work with heavy veneer packets and metals. Marquetry made by hand is still quite the preference in present times.

Knives

Knives are basic tools and you can choose yours dependin on the project you are workin on.

With a pencil like look, the X-acto knife is a good one and comes with a knurled sleeve.  You can build up your collection of knives with time and dependin on the makins you work on.

For beginners in Marquetry, you will need a collection of blades.  You will need blade #11 as the most basic of them for when you get started.  You can use sharpenin stones to fix them as they go blunt with use.

Another option is to buy packets of blades in bulk and replace them as you use them.  You will also need cuttin boards made of plywood.  The most preferred option is beech plywood.

Woods

Most artisans feel that oak and pine are too hard to be used.  Particle boards are essential for pictorial Marquetry.  Lately, it is the medium dense fiber (MDF) board that is commonly used.

Other Tools

For advanced Marquetry, tools like the green board are good, on which long slivers of veneer can be cut.  Hand rollers are also needed to press down veneers after they have been glued to a surface.  A few woodworkers opt for a rotary palm held sander that will help smoothen the surface of an image.
