I just returned from Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina where I received a scholarship to take a two week parquetry/piercing workshop with Brian Reid. It was awesome! We spent the first week learning how to make patterned tiles out of veneer (by stacking up layers of veneer and cutting them at the same time on the scroll saw). Next we learned how do piercing... Then we made small cabinets with sliding doors made out of the parquetry and pierced panels.
