re: Messing With a Master

Thanks all.

I am flattered Abbas but in reality I am closer to Rory McIlroy in my golf game than I am to Pierre Gole in my marquetry (and I shoot around 90). :-)

The books I mentioned are unfortunately out of print. They are available but expensive. However if you are serious about marquetry, they are worth it.
I have
“Marquetry” …. Pierre Ramond
“Masterpieces of Marquetry” (set of three books) …. Pierre Ramond
And am considering
“Pierre Gole, ébéniste du roi Louis XIV” by THL Scheurleer
Malheureusement, my French, while somewhat passable in conversation isn’t likely to give me the full benefit of the text. ……. but then it’s the pictures I would be buying it for.
