Testimonials on the Introduction to Marquetry DVD:
Robert Dunn, a freelance writer for woodworking magazines and reviewer of woodworking teaching videos, says, " The images are bright, crystal clear and well chosen. The close ups are perfectly done and clearly illustrate the specific lessons. Every step is clearly and completely shown. I was really impressed with the quality of the production and teaching - it is truly a look over the shoulder of a master at work.
Dave Peck, of Redwood Valley Ca., editor of The American Marquetarian remarks: "I have seen this DVD . . . well put together . . will be a great resource for those wanting to get started with knife cut marquetry, or a club may want it for their library.
Master American marquetry artist, Silas Kopf, reviewed the video and had this to say: "If they watched your video, they might say "well let me give it (marquetry) a try...and you've set them on their way to a lifetime of satisfaction. Bravo!"
