suspect at first guess. I haven't made it that far.


the parquetry that i saw requireed very little in tools materials

small long triangular shaped pieces of different wood species
glue
black paper which is still not known and may be cloth
a wide hand plane to plane a very thin sheet of the glued up pieces
a vise to secure the glued up pieces while planing the veneers

now the boxes that he affixed the veneers are another topic altogether


may need a vice after ruining the glue ups while trying to make the
veneers and having to start all over
