Marion built this writing desk using the first wood she bought for herself—a plank of English walnut. “I knew from Day 1 I would use this plank to explore parquetry, a technique I was very interested in.”

FWW Live Gallery

When the pandemic forced the cancellation of Fine Woodworking Live 2020, these promising furniture makers from woodworking schools around the country were set to be featured in the event’s gallery. It’s a shame you won’t get to see these pieces in person, but here they are in print. We were impressed, and hope you’ll be, too.
