Tool cabinet – Continued

Ebénisterie Mathieu Vath

Quelques photos des marqueteries de l’armoire à outils. Pour les écoinçons je me suis inspiré de ceux se trouvant sur une table de Pierre Gole, prédécesseur et grande influence d’André-Charles Boulle.

For this cabinet, I needed to make 16 corner pieces. So, to save time, I decided to use the Boulle marquetry technique. I made four bundles of different colored woods to obtain four different marquetry designs from a single cut. Therefore, there are four identical designs, but with different flower colors.

Next, I cut the four bases together, along with the stems and flowers. This saved me a lot of time and energy.
