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?

My father in law used to make them his way of relaxing
I still have many of them he used to give them away as Christmas presents
dont know what a kit would be he used to just buy the vernier
