To Make as Perfectly as Possible
André Roubo's 18th-century French text, L'Art du Menuisier, is a widely respected source on European woodworking techniques of the pre-industrial era, but the massive four-volume work has been unavailable in English prior to this publication. This abridged and annotated translation presents a selection of material from the fourth volume, including dozens of illustrations reproduced from Roubo's original plates depicting diverse aspects of the marqueter's craft and related trades. It focuses on techniques for the ornamentation of woodwork, including parquetry, marquetry, mastic and metal inlay, with additional sections on finishing, woods, sharpening and other topics.
