Gandolfi Camera – Stephen Jukes 2015

Can you imagine a more original subject for a marquetry picture? Steve’s workmanship with his knife equals that of the original maker of the camera portrayed. The veneer choice could not have been better. Mahogany for the case, as per the original camera, and a clever choice for the brassware and bellows. Exotic burr walnut background adds to the classiness.

Honda Fireblade SP – Ken Smart 2015

Ken always creates instant eye catching impact with his marquetry and this is no exception. Usually cars but this time a bike, he has conveyed real speed by creating the blurred background and wheels turning at speed effect that photographers strive for. Punchy colours as befits the subject and added dynamism by putting the background on a diagonal.
