Default Marquetry

Yes I remember them even being in Woolies, lots of slivers of funny coloured
woody stuff in a frame you put together if that is what you mean. Always
seemed to me to be a bit like making your own jigsaw and what is the end
result supposed to be used for?

I recall back in the late 1950s that my father made several items they were
decorated with marquetry.

He wasn't particulary artistic and I suppose some "kits" were involved..


Was it a fad or fasion at the time? Were kits widely offered?
