This is part 1 in a 4 part series: Marqutery School

My first marquetry course starts tomorrow morning. I’ve been preparing for a couple of weeks and I think I’m as prepared as I could be.

The classroom

The textbooks

The work areas

Glue making, packet assembly and mounting board materials

The packets for the first étude. They get a choice of colour combinations

Hammer veneering materials, even got outmy old glue pot as back up.

Wish me luck!

Thanks for looking

It certainly looks like you have prepared for this in a professional way Paul. I do wish you the best of luck even though I doubt you will need it. Have fun!
