Guild Members' Experience
In artistry and in the fundamentals of marquetry, guild members share their wealth of experience generously. Some of that wealth has been captured and can be accessed through these links: fundamental techniques that can be applied to most marquetry and artistic techniques for special effects.
Contact information for contributing guild members is available in the Member Directory in the Members Only section.

Veneer sources
There are several good sources of veneers used by our members. These include:
The marquetry saw
Our members have used two different versions of a hand powered scroll saw. The most recent, pictured here, was designed in 2019-20 and is now being used by several members. It can be purchased through one of our members for $150.
The saw comes with a 16-inch throat, which is adequate for most marquetry. A 24-inch throat can be purchased for an additional $50. The two arms are laminated for strength and stiffness, and they are calibrated so that the blade tension is about 5 pounds.
If you want to look further into purchasing the saw please contact us by email HERE! Those who wish to make their own saw may view and download the complete manual for members only.
