I’m interested in trying my hand at marquetry and was wondering if anyone could recommend any introductory books or DVD’s.

Thanks

Howard

Paul Schurch has a new DVD coming out in March - I would definitely get a copy of this...

Thanks for the heads up on Paul's new video, Roger.

In addition to the new one coming out, I recommend his first video. However, this video only covers decorative veneering where he teaches how to do a bookmatched background with a filletti border.

Also, Silas Kopf's video is great.

When it comes to books, Pierre Ramond's books are wonderful, but are really more of a history lesson then technique instruction. Other than that, there are some OK books on marquetry, but really nothing that I highly recommend.

Between Paul and Silas's videos, you've got a lot to start with there.

Doesn't Mark Adams have a good marquetry video?

Sincerely

I saw Marc's video on his website, and I wasn't aware of it. Thanks, Darryl. I'll probaby check it out.

Howard:

Couldn't tell from your post if you are new to marquetry or new to veneer and marquetry. If you have some veneer experience marquetry is an interesting extension and can be enjoyable. If new to both, I'd suggest first you gain some basic veneering experience. Darryl's two videos and Schurch's video would be EXCELLENT for veneering novices.

I took 2 week courses at Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Franklin IN last year on marquetry. One, instructed by Marc Adams and the second by Paul Schurch. They teach two different methods of marquetry. Marc teaches the double bevel method while Paul teaches the stack method. I took both to see which one I liked the best or if I could use both methods at the same time.
I prefer the stack method but have used the double bevel method at times.
Both videos are excellent and the intructions at the scholl are along the sme line but much more in addition. I would HIGHLY reccommend taking the classes.

several years ago i took a marquetry course at krenov's school in fort bragg, ca. taught by greg zall and craig vandall stevens. stevens has a great introductory book out - the art of marquetry. primarily using the double bevel cut method. be careful - once you learn it - it is a very slippery slope.
