Marquetry can be practised by people with all levels of skill and experience, and this book will show you how to achieve results worthy of comparison with the very best. Colin Holcombe served his apprenticeship as an antique furniture restorer and learnt the art of marquetry along with many other skills at that time Since retirement he has written several books on various aspects of woodwork as well as restoration and conservation.
