Finding things
I found a tray in a charity shop constructed from a marquetry design. It was too nice to not buy and someone had clearly spent a lot of time on it. I am finding that time is something I am short of and fitting in significant periods of making anything is hard but I am thinking about the project a lot as I do other things.
I bought some nice veneers from a craft shop and the man told me that a lot of the materials they sell are the off cuts from car manufacture. Particularly one which came from jaguar- a manmade veneer that he called snake eye.
