Parquetry Class Day 3

The day began with smoothing the parquetry compositions, first with toothing planes, both manufactured and home-made, then followed by blocks of pumice.

The next step was to lay out a simple banding knotwork design for one corner as an exercise.

Excavating for the inlay came next, followed by cutting and fitting the elements of the design.

In the end everyone went home with examples of the techniques to apply to their upcoming projects.

If this technique interests you I hope you will join me for next year’s class on October 1-3, 2026.
