Veneers are available from many sources and you will find many suppliers in the links for Marquetry, especially if you use a search engine.
The specialist supplier who supports the annual National Exhibition, Art Veneers, will be pleased to sell you a beginners pack by mail order. | There are many types on the market.
Over a period of time find out which one suits you and your style of working. A favourite for beginners has an aluminium shaft (pencil thickness) and takes 11a size blades. | Can be very cheap or very expensive.
A modest one can be made from a piece of plywood, MDF, or chipboard covered with a vinyl tile. | Ordinary white PVA wood glue in a small container. | A smooth 'Gothic Arch' shaped hardwood block used to press the inserted veneers in to the picture and rub the glue into the joint. | A piece of good quality tracing paper larger than the picture. | Should be 4H or above as tracing paper takes the point off very quickly. | Black NOT blue as the latter tends to stain the wood.
Carbon paper is fast disappearing with the advent of word processing. Hang on to any supplies that come your way. | Paper tape to prevent veneers splitting while cutting etc. | For holding the tracing in position and keeping your veneers in registration during marking out. | To maintain the knife blade point.
A piece of cloth backed emery paper is a good substitute. | Necessary when finishing the picture.
A steel straight edge is also handy. | Necessary when finishing the picture. | Various grades of 'sandpaper' for finishing.
We recommend silicon carbide 320 and 600 grades. | There are several different types.
See the section on polishing before you buy. | Last but not least your own choice of design. |
