Laszlo Sandor marquetry artist portfolio
Wood Arts was born out of my love of marquetry, which I have inherited from my father. I think it's sad, that quality wood products are becoming increasingly rare in our everyday life, a trend that may spell the end of this historical craft. My goal is to revitalize and popularize marquetry as an artform, perhaps reintroducing it to our households once more.

While the wood panels are hard, during the process of making they are prone to crack, bending only to the patience of a well trained craftsman. The special textures found in the exotic raw materials contribute a lot to the unique style.
