He teaches old school ways. You do this book instead of read. He has a number of projects that you work on when reading. Exceceptioal way to teach marquetry formular. Steps to make inlays are the samrepition h pls build your skill. He increases the difficulty until you complete somthing you never thought your u could make. This beef is for beginner or those self taught like myself we want to learn the “prop r” way. I praise him on his knlqge and way of teaching.This is a person you want to meet. This is my 1st MUST READ & I do not have many.
