Guest Photo Gallery Woodworking Projects Winnie the Pooh Marquetry By Mark Gunter The photos presented below are in the GIF format to facilitate faster loading. You may click on any photo for a larger JPEG image with a little better quality. As I worked on my second marquetry project - Winnie the Pooh - I decided to snap a few photos to illustrate the process used. First, you need a shop drawing or pattern to use in cutting out the veneers for marquetry. I began with a coloring book drawing, and modified it until it was workable with veneers. The key is that you must not have drawings that depend on open lines for the pictures. Your lines must be closed, that is they need to form shapes that can be cut from wood. Winnie's ear became a "tab" ear on the shop drawing; his smile became the lower line of a muzzle; etc. Click any image for jpeg enlargement. Once I got the drawing ready, I made several copies for use as patterns. One copy is used for reference, and it's marked with the veneer species for each piece (at left). The work on pooh was mostly done when I started these photos. The pattern on the right was used for most of the body parts. The one at top was used for pooh's left leg and foot.

The marquetry forms a center cap where the four half-walls of a cubicle meet. I built the cubicle with figured cherry veneer plywood and solid cherry top and end caps. This matching center cap is a square of solid cherry laid up with cherry and maple veneers. To make this logo, I used the following procedure: Cut the square cherry blank to near-finished size Formed an eight-piece pie match with cherry veneer for the groundwork Cut out the logo in a piece of maple veneer and into the cherry groundwork simultaneously Trimmed the veneer fancy face and pressed it to the cherry blank (Titebond® and clamp pressure with cauls) Trimmed the piece to final size Routed profile around the edges To learn more detail about the methods I use for making marquetry, check out the article in the

WHERE International Centre 6900 Airport Road Mississauga, ON, Canada MARQUETRY - PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS Back to Toronto Wood Show Index SHOW TIMES Friday 1 - 8 PM Saturday 10 - 6 PM Sunday 10 - 5 PM ORIGINS and HISTORY OF MARQUETRY Marquetry is the art of assembling veneers from hundreds of species of wood, sometimes interspersed with gems, ivory, mother of pearl, etc. to collectively form a picture or design. It was practiced by the Egyptians over 3000 years ago, and priceless boxes, panels and furniture enriched with designs in colourful woods were left in the pyramids. Other examples of inlay appeared in Asia Minor around 350 B.C. These were marble inlays. By present definition, their work is called inlay because it involved recessed areas into which small cut pieces of colourful wood were inset or inlaid. The term marquetry refers to cut pieces of native and exotic woods, sliced into veneer thickness, assembled as a design into a single sheet and then glued to a solid surface, usually wood, hardboard or particle board. After the fall of the Roman Empire a few workshops survived in Italy. In the 14th and 15th centuries dramatic changes took place in marquetry methods. Schools of marquetry were set up, the most famous being in Florence. The veneers of this period were very thick and were shaped with a chisel. From Italy marquetry spread all over Europe. In the 17th and 18th centuries France further developed and refined the art.

Marquetry using colored straw was a specialty of some European spa resorts from the end of the 18th century. The simplest kind of marquetry uses only two sheets of veneer, which are temporarily glued together and cut with a fine saw, producing two contrasting panels of identical design, (in French called partie and contre-partie , "part" and "counterpart"). Simple geometric marquetry designs reminiscent of basketwork, tiling or trelliswork, are often called 'parquetry,' in reference to the similar patterning of parquet flooring. Marquetry may be much more complicated and ambitious, using many local and exotic woods including
