Knew Concepts marquetry saw

[Rob Young]

Thanks.

I have not done marquetry. From what I've read, I thought the method was to saw at a slight angle. The Knew Concepts saw -- which looks amazingly well built, and probably is -- seems to to fixed at 90 degrees, assuming the pieces are mounted to the edge of a flat table. Am I missing something?

Depends on the exact method you follow. Boulle (spelling?) packets are typically sawn at 90* to the surface. Other ones use the slight angle to create matching bevels to minimize the gap. I think Boulle assumes you are using a dark glue like hide-glue and the patterns help mask the gap.

Just guessing on the reason though.
