Liqueur Tray with a 3rd Generation Laminate design.
Details of 3rd Generation Laminate design
I found this technique of Laminate Designs to be very exciting. There is a book Laminated Designed in Wood
by Clarence Rannefeld, and shows techniques, patterns and projects with in depth theory and mathematics.
It is based around the normal woodshop 3/4" stock but I wanted to develop an adaptation for Marquetry.
The Detailed view shows all my learning errors but I was somewhat pleased overall.
I hope to write and publish my findings in the near future. Stay tuned.
 
This tray is the complement of the prototype above. There will be no more made after this.
