With a background in music and a passion for precision, woodworker Eric Blackwell creates intricate marquetry, clocks and guitar stands that combine functionality with artistic flair.

Blackwell also began exploring the art of marquetry, creating works that often feature inlaid patterns of trees, mushrooms and geometric shapes.

He turned to marquetry, a dying art form, to give his assemblages a fresh look.

Renaissance masters from the 1400s-1600s created elaborate marquetry works for palaces and churches in Italy, Germany and other areas of Western Europe.

It is set atop marquetry of turquoise and yellow Mookaite jasper from Australia, both chosen for their inclusions that give the delicate stone-setting the appearance of age.
