Description
How I started
Way back in my early days at sea as a junior engineer on my first ship. MS Pacific Star, a tanker. The 3rd engineer when not on watch, spent his time on the what I thought was a fascinating hobby. Marquetry.
I never found out how he did it but over the years not thinking that it could be too difficult. I always planned that when I retired, marquetry would be my chosen retirement craft.
Now my first attempt back in 2007 was a complete disaster and ended up in the bin. Then after a great deal of thought and my honest belief that if someone else could master this craft of
marquetry. Then I could.
This book which I hope will be a motivator to all other seniors on retirement. Anything is possible. Just make up your mind and try. You will be surprised at just what you will be able to achieve and the satisfaction as slowly but surely the walls of your house will be covered by your creations.
