Marquetry Techniques by David Middleton
Existing books on marquetry tend either to be outdated in their presentation and technical approach or are extremely specialist and aimed at the experienced or professional marquetarian. This practical book is fully up-to-date and explains all the techniques of marquetry, parquetry and inlaid wood in detail. It is sure to appeal to practising and potential marquetarians as well as those interested in ornamenting furniture. The contents include basic and more specialist tools, veneers - how to identify them and how to use them to give depth and perspective, all the techniques, mounting, polishing and applied marquetry. The authors show how to put all this into practice with a series of applied marquetry projects, complete with plans and step-by-step photographs.David Middleton, PhD, graduated from Harvard University where he began his career at the institution's Radio Research Laboratory--working on radar countermeasures as well as passive and active jamming during World War II--before teaching there. A recipient of numerous prizes and awards related to his work on communication theory, Dr. Middleton was a fellow of the IEEE, the American Physical Society, the Acoustical Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
