Refurbished chest with marquetry

[scottj]

I want to show off a chest I repaired, refurbished, and refinished because I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I decorated it with some marquetry that I made using the double-bevel cutting technique. It is for a dog and cat rescue's charity auction.

Are the cats images made by marquetry? Closeups would be appreciated. Wonderful job there, the fund raiser should be thrllled to get this.

Right. The cats are marquetry.

Excellent work, scottj. What are the overall dimensions of the chest? What are the average dimensions of the marquetry figures?

The chest is approximately 18"x18"x40". I sized all the cameos to be just a bit smaller than 5"x7".
