After seeing the box you made with this, I had to check out how you made the top. Beautiful work! If you don't mind a suggestion, it's nice to know a few details about your process. So when you apply sanding sealer or a finish, show the can to the camera so people can know what you're using. If you're sanding, show the grit label on the back. You could also use captions. Your work is good enough that people will want to know more.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m putting more effort into the next set of videos. I’ll definitely add captions with call outs of what I’m using and the process behind it. Much appreciated and thanks for watching and subscribing! Makes all this effort worth it. :)
Nice video, but I must say that some audio would be very nice. I am a retired full time marquetarian. I did it all old school, i.e. a scroll saw. Gor a ;aser for a retirement toy and it is really great. I had a question. Is that a sanding sealer you applied? what is it, please? And what is your finish. I always sprayed lacquer.
Hey Nick! Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the earlier videos I didn’t talk/voice over, but the newer videos I try to explain all my workflows. I need to do another marquetry video and do a good voice over with all the steps. Congrats on the laser! It way easier than a scroll saw, but always keep that skill though, it’s a critical skill for woodworking 🤓. The sanding sealer I use is Bulls Eye SealCoat Shellac, and I make sure it’s the clear version without wax. The sealer helps fill in voids and protects the veneer for the follow on steps of what it will be. For the finish, I love using Rubio Monocoat, it’s durable and leaves that natural feel. I have panels that are 2 years old and they look exactly like the day I made them. Thanks for watching and cheers!!
First, let me say that the work that you do is just truly amazing. I've watched almost all of your videos and I wouldn't even make an attempt to do some of what you do. That being said,,, I'm 80 years old, have a 21 laser and just bought some veneers so I think I might be able to at least make a landscape scene. Not as intricate as yours but at least the first attempt. I'm not familiar at all what the techniques and supplies needed to do this. So could you be so kind as to tell me what that paper/tape is called that you lay the project down on? Thank you so much for sharing with all of us! Your creativeness and ability to bring out the true beauty of wood. Tom
Thanks Tom! I really appreciate it! I’ll be doing a step by step marquetry video next month and hopefully will help. The transfer paper I use is called Standard Grip Transfer Tape by Make Market. I use some other one too, it all depends on what I can find and have on hand. I got the transfer tape from Michaels, which any of the hobby stores carry it. What I like about it, it has just enough adhesive, which is tacky, to hold the pieces without movement during glueing, but weak enough to pull up without damaging the veneer once the glue has cured. Also, the glue doesn’t stick to so it’s a perfect combo to the tape method, which can be frustrating. Hope this helps and if you need any help, please email me!
@@EricksonWoodworking Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. I can't wait for next month's video and hope to learn a lot from it. Don't laugh at me but if I wanted to email you how would I go about it? Tom
Beautiful, great job! I have a question for you: what type of laser (CO2 or diode), respectively, what power (if diode, namely optical) and what is the cutting width? Well, how do you place the veneer contour on the sketch of the veneer contour (in some program or by manual selection).
Thanks! I have a CO2 laser, and the power/speed really depends on the thickness of the material you are using to gauge the kerf. I did multiple test cuts with my machine to accurately accounts for the kerf to offset my design with. Mine came out to around .001” positive offset for the pieces I wanted to cut to fit snug.
Thanks! I used multiple different scenery photos and mashed them together with different design features to create vectors for the laser to cut out. The hard part is picking the best veneer species to achieve the affect you are looking for.

wonderfull work Sr, u have a new subscriber!
Thanks!!
You are quite the artist. Wish I had as much knowledge as you have in your little pinky.
Nice composition! That little tablesaw crosscut at 11:25 gave me the creeps though. Could've easily turned your final result another inch smaller.
Thank you!
Beautiful

Very creative! Nice job!
Thanks!
The music on this video is really good. Where can I hear more? The work is impressive too.
I really enjoyed watching that.
Goodmorning. Wonderful work. Try to do this work with scrollsaw.
Talk about tedious work. Wow! Very nice!
Very very excellent
veramente bello, complimenti

No worries. My email is edesignandwoodworking@gmail.com
Very cool! What kind of glue are you using here? And where do you get your veneer? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick and informative response! Good luck with your creativity! I will be glad to see your new video!
Great job! Did you create the art work also?

How thick is the veneer you are using?
It’s around .02” thick.
4:15 unnecessary process
It helps out greatly when dealing with small pieces of veneer. Cheers!
