BLUE TAPE. Don’t use blue tape on the face of veneers. It is too strong and it will pull wood fibers from the veneer. Use blue tape to join pads of veneers together.

Drawing 20-3. Inner Borders. The Side Borders (top drawing) have no curve. The Top and Bottom border strips (bottom drawing) are curved; the grain orientation of the inner sections makes this possible.

23. Cut enough ⅛-in. light-colored (grain longwise) and ⅜-in. strips (grain crosswise) to make the top and bottom borders.

24. Bend a ⅛-in. piece of veneer to the curved edge of the walnut and tape in place.

25. Bend the ⅜-in. piece to the curve and tape it in place. Note: if it will not bend, put app tape on the back and use a 1-in. wood chisel and chop through the veneer every ½-in.

26. Add the last ⅛-in. piece and tape it in place.

27. Overlap the ends and apply clear cellophane tape on the top and bottom of the corners.

28. Use a sharp knife and a straight edge and cut the corner angle.

Add the Outer Border Pieces: All that is needed now is to add the outside border pieces.

29. Lay two walnut veneer pieces against the sides and tape them in place.

30. Slide two walnut pieces under the top and bottom arcs and cut the outside border pieces to shape.

31. Overlap the ends and cut the corners to shape.

Glue the Panel to the Bottom Plywood: Fasten the marquetry to the plywood.

32. Use PVA glue and fasten the Rose marquetry to the ¼-in. plywood bottom panel.

33. Cut the ply to size.

Put the Bottom into the Tray: Glue the bottom into the rabbets.

34. Glue the Rose marquetry panel into the rabbets of the tray bottom.

35. Add walnut cleats to secure the bottom.

36. Add cork dots to the bottom corners and you are through.
