Beginners' Guide

This guide is based on a booklet written by Quentin Smith in 1995, to accompany the Group's first training course. It has since been made part of the Group's joining pack and successive members of the Group have been kind in their praise for it.

It may be reproduced by non-profit-making bodies for the purpose of furthering knowledge of marquetry. It may not be reproduced by any means, in part or in full, for commercial purposes without the written permission of the author.
