The project after the Tool Chest
Veneers of English Sycamore, fiddleback Anegre, and Rosewood. Cabriole legs are stained cherry.
After building the tool chest, I didn’t get the sense of fulfillment I imagined incorporating the usual woodworking techniques like joinery. But I did enjoy all the decorative work. The next leg of my woodworking journey lead me to marquetry incorporating double bevel cutting and commercial veneers. The knotted ribbon motif was used during the Louis XVI period. Master ebeniste David Roentgen used it numerous times. Unlike the tool chest, I was jazzed when I was finished. The path of my woodworking journey was set; decorative veneering.

The first use of storylining. Here we have the bird (character) tearing the treble clef ribbon (conflict). Grain direction is always an issue with first time marquetry pieces, and this no exception. For example, the gain direction on the wings certainly could use some improvement.
