This is Marquetry!! Hard to believe eh? Ian says, "I create bespoke marquetry pictures. Every picture is unique, taking advantage of the wonderful tones and contrasts you can only get with natural wood veneers."

"....even if you're not ready to hop on a skateboard, you might consider trying out a Roarockit kit with someone who is and introducing a skateboarder to woodworking."

Marquetry is a way to express your designs using wood veneer. Skateboards are a natural to use for this ancient but very relevant art.

Inlaying contrasting and beautiful veneers can be used to express your designs in wood!
