I’m just getting started in marquetry/parquetry so I thought I’d make some binders for Christmas presents. The substrate is 1/8th Baltic Birch plywood.
Each design is different:
1. Perspective/vanishing points
2. Rhombs showing three-fold and five fold symmetries. ( The five-fold is called Penrose tiling and was patented by Roger Penrose.)
3. Celtic Labyrinth and Braid
4. Pursuit curves

Great binders. My daughter wants to make some binders. How do you hinge them and attach the pages to the binder. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everybody! The spine and the covers are attached with a single piece of leather, and I used 1.5” ring mechanisms from plastic binders from Staples.

These are all very cool – the perspective one especially for me – I studied architecture so it hits home…...looks like you got one heck of a good start. Thanks for sharing.
