Thank you, I appreciate that! It is nice to know that it also inspires others.

Thank you John! I am glad I could help. Hope to see pictures of your work!

Thank you Mike ! I do'nt use the same species for every leaf/vein. For example, I use some very white maple, wenge, walnut, holly, mahogony, jatoba and robinia. Maybe I missed some. Enjoy making marquetry!

Thank you, you're welcome !

Thank you Alex, practice makes perfect, have fun !

You're welcome!

Thank you Mark !

Thank you very much Garry !

Its not the talent, the one you'd had to replicate. patience and dedication do that. If you truly wish... not to sound like disney but.... you can seriously make it :).

Thank you!

Thank you Josh !

Thank you David ! The table of my scrollsaw is tilted a few degrees.If I want to insert a piece from above I saw clockwise so that the part is slightly larger. This eliminates the cut so that it fits seamlessly.

Thank you very much ! That's a very kind response, very nice to hear you like it that much !

Thank you !

Thank you !

Hello Ed, I am not sure about the other wood species, but it is worth the try. Maybe you can make some samples to see the effect of the lemon juice. Do make sure it doesn't effect your finish, sometimes it doesn't match.

Thank you ! I use a double bevel technique with 3 mm thick veneer. You can watch the videos to see the steps. If you have any questions, let me know or give me your e-mail address and I will answer it.

Dankjewel Niels, dit kunstproject had ik zelf in gedachten en ik heb het gemaakt zonder opdracht. Uiteindelijk wil ik het wel verkopen.

Thank you ! I use Pebeco 3 saw blades.

Thank you Mike, I have always been a restoration carpenter, interior builder and furniture maker. The marquetry furniture are free projects.

Thank you Patrick, that's why I always work with thick veneer (3mm). That is much stronger.

Thank you Fabian, that's very nice to hear ! As you say, it can be difficult to compete with the mass market. If you're just startinging out, it might be good to start as an apprentice at an established company to gain experience and to get to know the market. Then you can later consider taking the step to start for yourself. Have fun !

@@ronnie_rozenga Hi Ronnie, thank you very much for your reply. I will do my best to heed your advice! I subscribed too, don't want to miss any of your amazing work. Regards!

@@fabianmadrigal2887 You're welcome Fabian !

Thank you Danail, I don't know if that's true ! The front of the drawer case is made of 3 mm beechwood glued to a substrate. The initial is made with the same marquetry technique as the bird with the cherry branches.

Thank you Joyce ! Nice to hear you enjoyed the video. I live in the Netherlands.

Thank you Mike! Yes I sometimes insert from te bottom and sometimes from the top. I always weigh up what is the best choise at that moment. It mainly has to do with how I can position the part to be inserted as accurately as possible. A complete "'package"' of, for example, a butterfly, I will insert from above because then I have a full vieuw of the contours. I will then saw clockwise.If I want to insert a piece of one type of wood into the existing image, I wil do that from below, so that I have view of the contours of the already completed image. I wil then saw counter clockwise.

@@ronnie_rozenga your reply helps a lot and makes sense. Thanks for replying. I don’t think I can send you a picture of walnut board I have done. With a hummingbird and fushia. It is my 3rd go at it. I am retired and enjoy the detailed work. I have a stash of various wood accumulated over 30 years- lots more resawing to do! I have been to the Netherlands, did a barge/bike trip for a week and enjoyed it much! Be well and Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@@mikeminnick9712 Hi Mike, sorry for the late reply. It would be nice to see pictures of your work. We can contact through Instagram or e-mail at ronnierozenga@gmail.com .

@@ronnie_rozenga Thank You. I am thinking to send email with pics showing where I was a few weeks ago to roughly now. I have been working with random backgrounds and now working on a live edge with marquetry inlay. You will understand when I send pics. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge- I am engrossed in this for the now.

@@mikeminnick9712 Okay Mike 👍

The angle depends on the thickness of the veneer and the thickness of the saw blade. My veneer is 3 mm, than the angle is about 6 degrees. If the veneer is thinner, the angle becomes larger. I use Pebeco 3 saw blades.

Thank you Shane ! I don't have a website (yet), people can reach me via RU-vid or Instagram.

Thank you !

Hello Trevor. No it won't, the saw table is tilted a few degrees, this gives the piece I want to insert a wedge shape and makes it slightly larger than the piece I saw out. This makes it fit seamlessly.

@@ronnie_rozenga brilliant thanks for taking the time to reply

The saw table is tilted a few degrees. This way the piece that has to be inlaid will get a wedge shape and will be a bit larger than the background. This way the saw thickness is eliminated and the piece will fit seamless.

Hello Camilo, I haven't written a book about marquetry. I would recommend books written bij Silas Kopf or Craig Vandall Stevens, they use the double bevel technique for making marquetry. Have fun !

Thank you very much you are very kind. I already bought the craig Vandall, now I'll save up for the other one.@@ronnie_rozenga

Excuse me. I would like to ask you another question. Can you recommend companies to buy marquetry supplies?@@ronnie_rozenga

@@camilolutier6173 I don't know what country you live in, here in the Netherlands I buy my tools at www.baptist.nl .

Thanks for the compliment Rosario !

@@ronnie_rozenga è la verità

@@ijnvniuhnvlsjk Thanks again !

No, it is an original card scraper. It has some tape on top to make it more comfortable in my hands.

@@ronnie_rozenga WOW! I did not expect a reply from the great man himself. Thankyou Ronnie.

@@LiamMcCann-fl1ps You're welcome Liam 😉

I didn't count exactly, but with the design involved about 300 hours.
