I
started doing marquetry in 1988 while looking for a particular painting style
to decorate a furniture project I was working on. In my research I found the style
of design I was looking for but it was a pictorial marquetry piece, not a painting.
Over
the next couple of years I taught myself what I could from books. After this I
had doubts that I was doing it right so I took a 2 hour class at the Woodworkers
Store in Minneapolis. The instructors were Ken Kollar and Oskar Schreiner, who
showed me how to utilize bevel-cutting and knife techniques respectively.</f
