Terminology
Marquetry
pieces of different coloured veneer built up into a ‘picture’.
Parquetry
similar to the above, but based on repeat geometric shapes; e.g. tile patterns,
brickwork, basket weave, etc.
The finished sheet of marquetry/parquetry is then glued onto a solid base.
Inlay
individual pieces of wood or veneer, or marquetry/parquetry motifs glued into
recesses cut into a solid base.
Tools / Equipment
Tracing paper.
Carbon paper.
Veneer tape – sponge.
Masking tape – dispenser.
Fret saw and cutting table.
Fine piercing saw blades 2/0 - 4/0 or 6/0.
Magnifying head loupe.
Fine drill or needle point for starter hole for fret saw.
Cutting table/mat.
Tray for pieces.
Sweep floor before you start!!
And / or wear an apron and pin under cutting table.

MARQUETRY
The image is scanned into a computer and ‘traced’ using drawing tools.
OR
The image can be traced by hand with pencil and tracing paper – the tracing can then
be scanned into the computer.
Once in the computer:
Traced image can be re-sized, flipped, stretched, rotated, distorted, etc.
Print pattern out, onto:
Paper – for ‘colour’ scheme, or glued onto veneer as cutting pattern.
Tracing paper – for use with carbon paper to mark the pattern on either the face
or reverse side.
3
Veneer
1.5 mm veneer for fret saw cutting method.
Can use 0.7 mm but more care needed.
Newsprint/butchers paper glued to face side with wallpaper adhesive – helps prevent
splintering and break out.
Waxed or suet paper sheets between multi layered packets used for lubrication of the
saw.

1. Piece by piece method 1
Individual pieces of the
picture are cut out of
the paper pattern,
which is then glued
onto the veneer.
Each ‘piece’ of the
picture is cut out
– cutting outside the
line
Pieces can now be sand
shaded, some
assembly can take
place.
Individual pieces cut
out of the paper
pattern are then glued
onto the back ground
veneer.
Each ‘hole’ in the back
ground is then cut out
– cutting inside the
line.
The pieces are then
fitted into their ‘holes’.
All work is done on the
reverse side – with
veneer tape glued onto
face side.

2. Double cut method 1
The double cut method entails cutting through two veneers at once – the ‘piece’ veneer
and the background veneer.
Vertical cut
The saw is held vertically while cutting through the two pieces.
When the piece is glued into its hole there is a saw kerf gap around it.
Bevel cut / sawing
Saw is held around 10 degrees off vertical.
When piece is put into its hole, the saw kerf gap disappears as the piece fits ‘perfectly’.

3. Stack or packet cut method 1
Multiple layers of veneer are cut together.
Gives multiple copies from one vertical cutting.
o e.g. Different colour combination flowers.
o These can be flipped to make left or right hand flowers.
OR
One complete picture can be produced from one vertical cutting.
Different veneers fixed together
with masking tape,
…or veneer pins,
…or staples.
Left hand and right
hand flowers

Marquetry longcase clock
The areas marked ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ have
been cut using the packet method from
bookmatched veneers.
Each of the the numbered flowers were
all produced from the one cut using the
packet method.
The flowers marked ‘2a’ are a small
version of those marked ‘2’.

Parquetry
Use cutting board with back stop.
Use spacers for sizing – nuts, coins, washers, etc.
Cut strips with scalpel.
Glue edges.
Use masking tape to pull strips together.
Veneer tape over joint, weight down until dry.
Re-cut and repeat the above.
