André-Charles Boulle, cabinetmaker to the royal court in France, perfected the technique of marquetry in the 17th century. Because the materials used in his work were so precious, the offcuts were also used as "negatives", which was possible thanks to the introduction of the forerunner to the fret saw.
After an introduction to the Boulle fret-saw technique, each student will craft various veneer pictures based on a template or their own design. This produces multiple copies (positive and negative) of the chosen motif in the same run. Students can use a scroll saw or a coping saw and different veneers ore metal as they wish.
