Beautiful Marquetry wood inlay Bookmark of cat silhouette. Inlay wood is American Holly (dyed blue) and background wood is laminated Walnut. Tassel is 1.5 mm black leather cord with 6" slip knot.

While there are many techniques used in marquetry, my personal preference is the double bevel technique. The bevel produced by angling the saw cut creates the precision fit. I utilize the natural color, grain, and peculiarities of various wood to create a broad color pallet. This product also incorporates dye-Infused wood. I use vacuum pressure to ensure complete penetration of the wood veneer.

Finish is 2 coats of hand rubbed Danish oil and either hand rubbed polyurethane or three buff system with Carnauba wax top coat.
