About Jan's DVD
100 minutes of high quality, professional video!
"My instructional DVD on marquetry will give you the knowledge to create any piece of marquetry."
No prior woodworking experience necessary and no power tools are required. With a simple Xacto knife you can create a beautiful marquetry, either in the workshop or at the kitchen table.
Thousands have learned marquetry through my DVD and seminars. Here's a sample of some of the 48 chapters on my dvd:

Tools and supplies |
