re: Marquetry & Inlays

 SplinterGroup:  Thank you, Sir! I'm sanding off the paper that I glue onto the face of the veneer with hot animal hide glue. I do this so that the veneer won't chip or crack while I'm cutting on the scroll saw, the tiny little pieces. While cutting the marquetry packet the paper face of the veneer is laying flat to the table of the scroll saw, then when I glue marquetry to the sub-straight the paper side will be up.
Ron Stewart: Thank you very much for the complement. I print a copy of the marquetry pattern that I double sided tape to a clamping caul to go by when putting all the pieces back together. When I'm cutting I just place the pieces in kind of an order. It's a lot easier that it looks. lol
