Double Bevel Marquetry | Popular Woodworking

Marquetry creates images using inlaid pieces of wood. By utilizing different species and grain patterns, you can create a realistic looking image, crafted by your own hand.

Careful layout and precise cutting are the keys to getting a beautiful marquetry panel.

It’s difficult to describe the excitement I feel when I start a new double-bevel marquetry project. The ability to conjure up a picture from nothing and then turn it into a reality in wood is quite thrilling! One of my favorite Einstein quotes states: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” Being able to visualize something in your mind is a gift not everybody has.
