Ribbon Service Buffet
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Paul Schürch
With decades of marquetry under his belt, Schürch said that this buffet was a piece of cake, including creating the bow-front shape. The big challenge was working with the unstable pear veneers, he said. Schürch used mahogany for the case, Nigerian satinwood for the ribbon inlay, walnut burl for the borders, and tulipwood banding. A lapis lazuli tack inlaid into the front left foot “holds” the flowing ribbon in place. The finish is conversion varnish.
