The motive for godfather was taken from a central part of the King Louis XV’s desk which dates back to 1769. All the details, including the musical notes (real song from Godfather move), were done completely from veneer. I spent a lot of time picking, cutting, placing, and gluing only natural wood veneer to create my marquetry. I spend a lot of time to picking, cutting, placing, and gluing only natural wood veneer to creation my marquetry.
The art pane l is covered with 2 coats of sealer and 5 coats of a high gloss port cat lacquer, sanded between coats and rubbed with 600 & 1000 wet/dry sandpaper then machine polished to a high gloss finish.
All my marquetry is hand-made. I use a natural beauty of wood where each part of veneer differs from another. The outcomes are astonishing and unique.
