Marquetry is the creation of pictures using the natural colors, grain, and figures of wood veneer.  Often described as 'quilting in wood'.

I love the incredibly varied palette provided by the more than 150 varieties of wood species from all over the world.  There are times when the cutting is secondary to finding that one color, grain, or figure that conveys everything you were looking for on one particular piece of the overall work.

Greg Lilly

Greg Lilly is the author of ABINGDON'S BOARDINGHOUSE MURDER (The History Press, May 2024), a true crime that caught America's headlines in 1945. --- A widow shoots her young WWII veteran boarder, leaving him to die on the floor of his room, tossing the gun under the neighbor’s porch, and taking a taxi to join her teen daughters at a movie. After several conflicting statements, she settles on the claim he shot himself – four times. The State says it’s murder from her jealous rage. --- Greg Lilly grew up in Bristol, Virginia then lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. The rich storytelling tradition of the South captivated him and he began writing. Moving to Sedona, Arizona, Greg chronicled the high desert characters–past and present–in his books. Greg relocated to Williamsburg, Virginia, where he wrote and edited a regional magazine and served on the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission. Today, he lives and writes in Abingdon, Virginia. Along with the true crime ABINGDON'S BOARDINGHOUSE MURDER, he is the author of the TALES OF THE ABINGDON WOLVES series for the Virginia Highlands Festival. His novel, STRAY, set in Southwest Virginia, follows a son searching for his womanizer father who left almost 30 years before, a daughter grasping for her distant mother, and the shadows cast on them by the Lost Colony of Roanoke and Virginia’s witch trials.
