New Scroll Saw

[Scamp]

I just picked up a barely used scroll saw for $30. I've wanted to do a little marquetry for a while now and it looks like my excuses for not getting to it are drying up.

Does anyone have any good references for how-to books or articles on double-bevel marquetry? The basic process seems straight forward enough, but I'm sure there are lots of details that make a big difference.

Here's an article I found that helps to explain the process and why it works.

A Google search comes up with a lot of books on the subject, but I have no experience with which is worth reading.

Thanks, Dave. That article will help. I'll also slog through some of the books and see if any seem to be particularly good. Failing that, I'll just start making a lot of dust and scrap until I get it right...

Cool find. I'm looking for a similar deal. Make sure you post pics as you go!
