Ron Johnson Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I do not know how you do that, it is awesome. Can you recomment a book or something to learn how? This type of art I enjoy very much Paul is called double bevelled marquetry (painting with wood). If you search on the net and type in double bevel marquetry you'll find a great selection of instructions along with videos demostrating this type of art. I use a wide selection of exotic hardwoods for my colours (1/8" in thickness). I do mostly scenes and or animals so my backboard I bevel my hardwoods into are â…›". Scroll down to Mathew Wermer Demonstrates Double Bevel Marquetry. He gives a demonstration very close to the procedure I use. Hopefully this will give you a start. Let me know if I can be of further help. Edited February 2, 2015 by Ron Johnson Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
