PARQUETRY

Parquetry is similar to marquetry in every way but consists of pieces of veneer arranged in geometric patterns or motifs. Despite its apparent simplicity, it is possible to create many variations on a basic design, using veneers of different species, colour and tone cut into square, rectangular, triangular, diamond or polygonal shapes. Veneer used for marquetry panels of the standard thickness 0.6 mm. However, parquetry requires thicker veneer for durability being subject to foot traffic and loads (furniture pieces). Thicker veneer can be still cut by laser. Decorative solid wood parquetry is done with us using different technology in cutting solid pieces before they go for assembly on a substrate of birch ply
