Marquetry and Woodworking Journal

However, I have neglected some updates during the summer season so far. This’ll be a little sampler of some of the projects I’ve completed and that will eventually show up on the main site, but probably this fall when I’m intending to revamp a lot.

So here is a picture of a memorial project I did for a family who wanted a little bit more than just a regular headstone. I think it turned out very nice and really presents a welcoming area with a garden feel - which is what they requested.

Those of you who are eagerly awaiting some new content in my gallery should be pleased by the end of today (I count that as 11:59 p.m… hey, I am still human!) as I shall be adding some new coaster sets along with a few new artwork designs in my Marquetry Gallery.

Until next time!

 Course, this entire thing isn’t very interesting at the moment. Don’t worry, it’ll get better (I hope!).
