I am new to tribe and this is my first tribe. what a happy little spot.
My name is Dustin Doerntlein and before you skip through this please visit my website www.veneerconcepts.com No I am not trying to sell you nothing. just want to meet some like minded, in that I mean some others in the Vancouver area who are in to fine wood art. Are you out there. I know I am not alone. I think we can make this fine woodworking tribe into a hot spot, for all of us wood lovers.

"Painting with wood" -Marquetry, is the ancient art of using the different colors and grains in wood veneer to create patterns and images. The 1-mm thick veneer is cut and joined together to form a skin which is then glued to a surface and finished.
Utilizing a fragile resource such as exotic hardwood, in this age of mass deforestation calls for a more responsible use of our trees. Veneer, because it is sliced so thin maximizes the amount of usable wood from each log.

See you soon ,
