| Description: |
This pocket-sized book is intended
to be a practical workshop guide to accomplishing basic veneering
techniques. Colour plates and diagrams illustrate the steps
from preparation through to application. The emphasis is on
achieving top results in small setups with minimal fuss, for
example using a simple home-made press. Chapter one describes
veneer types and common figurings, plus the basic principles
of wood movement. The author looks at substrates and adhesives
in addition to abrasives and polishes. The chapter on tools
and equipment covers cutting tools and knives, straight edges,
saws, cutting gauges, plane and shooting boards as well as
tools for laying and pressing. Preparing, handling, repairing
and dyeing veneers is dealt with in detail and well illustrated.
Methods of laying are compared before progressing to notes
on cross-banding, bookmatching and quartering, inlaying, strings,
bandings, marquetry motifs and parquetry (including chessboard
design).This is a comprehensive treatment of the subject in
a well-presented and highly readable format. Well worth the
expenditure.
