Tasuldu’s Veneer Workshop Manual
A Czech-language craft guide covering marquetry and inlay, from selecting veneer and cutting pieces to pressing, sanding, polishing, and repairs.
Field notes
The guide organizes veneer work in the order it happens at the bench, beginning with grain selection and continuing through cutting, fitting, pressing, leveling, and surface treatment. It distinguishes sliced veneer, described as roughly six to ten tenths of a millimeter thick, from thinner peeled veneer, and names specific woods including walnut, maple, pear, plum, oak, poplar, and alder. The text also addresses practical failure points such as hairline cracks and lifted areas after years of use.
