Reverse Double Bevel Marquetry. My favorite form of Woodwork

Working on the Bedhead for Humming Bird 4 Poster Bed.
Quick explaination and demo of this technique.

Thank you for introducing me to this process. I see Marquetry in a different light now.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

It's a fascinating artform of woodworking and there are so many different ways of doing it. Thanks for your comment. Cheers Steve

Beautiful work. This week I just finished a 5-day marquetry class with Marc Adams,here in the US. Extremely frustrating but also great fun. A couple of minor differences. He teaches a 7 degree angle on the blade and the “keeper piece” always to the right of the blade. He also showed us his method of dyeing wood. Simple but lots of steps.

Hi Randall, degrees are really persaonal preference but must bew over 0 or there is no bevel. As for the keeper piece it all depends if you are wanting to save the top piece or the bottom piece. Continue the journey.....and enjoy it.Cheers Steve

Hope there will be a second video after....Cheers Steve from rainy old Normandy, France

Hi Richard, yes more coming. But I've taken up Archery so busy with that too. Cheers Steve

I'm jealous that you had a class with Mr Kopf. Would you be interested in doing a video on how you developed the bird: the shapes, the colours. Were the colour painted on to light coloured veneers? If so, what paints? There is not so much out there on this form of marquetry, but it is the best form.

It goes to the artist in you mate.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Thanks Julian, It's been awhile for me to get around to it, but happy so far. Cheers Steve

[@brendat5144]

Hi Steve, what angle do you use?

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Brenda, 13.5 degrees works for me. Tilted to the left, cut outside the line anti clockwise. So the piece gets turned clockwise, if that makes any sense. Cheers Steve

[@damiencwalker]

Nice work mate. How are you getting green veneer?

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Damien, I have a friend that dyes them for me using textile dye. Cheers Steve
