This beautiful book serves as a stunning introduction to people interested in using marquetry, also called painting with wood veneers, to recreate Pacific Northwest Coast Native Indian art style designs. 
Those who know of this art form may be interested in re-creating their designs using wood veneers. Readers will learn about the skills and techniques of marquetry using the window method and cutting wood veneers with a knife. Pacific Northwest Coast Native Art in Marquetry demonstrates how marquetry (whether using the saw or knife for cutting veneers) can be adaptable to any subject in addition to Pacific Northwest Coast Native art. Cutting exercises are included, as well as step-by-step instructions to complete the Blue Hummingbird picture in the Nuu-chah-nulth nation s style. Also included are four other Pacific Northwest Coast Native art designs by Jim Gilbert and directions about how to reproduce them in marquetry.
