Set of Four Glass Coasters in Stand
Such a great product that once I'd seen them I had to find out where to source them
Available in black or white these coasters are designed to take photos, but they have a slot about 2mm deep which means they are ideal for marquetry, cross-stitch, embroidery, calligraphy, painting, pyrography and many more crafts. Alternatively, ask me for inserts of a veneer to match or contrast your dining table.
The coasters take an insert approx. 80x70 mm
The visible area is 63x63mm.
£10.00 ... initially please send a message via Contact Us
Coaster sets with real marquetry start from £25 ... please Enquire
Ernie Ives Craft Knife
This great little knife is our preferred tool for marquetry. It takes standard size 11 scalpel blades, but can be adjusted so that just the tip is exposed, reducing "waggle" and blade breakage. Supplied with five blades.
£3.50 ... initially please send a message via Contact Us
Over 18s only please.
Marquetry Kit - Hummingbird
Instructions and a pack of veneers sufficient to make two hummingbirds, one in natural veneers (as shown) and one in brighter-coloured dyed veneers. Each bird is approximately 4" x 3"
Suited to a craftsman with some experience of marquetry as, for best effect, the technique of sand-shading is needed to complete this design. (NB: colours may vary from those shown)
