Boulle Marquetry Cabinet
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: John Kettman
For this sideboard Kettman used the Boulle technique of cutting marquetry, which creates two sets of veneers at once, a positive and a negative. The result is two pieces of furniture that are the reverse of each other in color (yes, he made two sideboards). The tiger maple and Gabon ebony veneers are mounted to a solid mahogany carcase and finished with shellac and wax. From Fine Woodworking #201
