The founding Constantine was the guy who made all of the desks in the Senate chamber, I believe. The place they had in NYC was amazing, like going back in time. They closed it in the early 2000s, I think. I’ve bought veneer from them and marquetry supplies as long as I’ve done woodworking.
They have a “box ‘o’ veneer” you can buy that has a bajillion samples that are labeled for cheap, like under $10. It’s a great thing to have for matching and just exploring possibilities with different species of veneer. -D > On Mar 30, 2020, at 7:16 PM, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I had an uncle who was quite the craftsman, he did some beautiful marquetry > (sp?) with their veneers.
