Marquetry pictures

1a Malvern Road, E8 3LT

About the work: I took up marquetry as my lockdown hobby. I’m a woodturner and it was my answer to lathe deprivation. Started with the usual kits and rapidly developed from there, I have done seventy-odd since then, at 20-40 hours each. All you need Is veneer, MDF panel, a scalpel, tape, glue, varnish and a couple of square feet of table top…oh, and a magnifying lamp. Landscapes, art (Toulouse Lautrec, Braque, Stanley Spencer…), stained glass etc  from the net and reworked from scratch…
