Cat Cabinet
To make the marquetry, eight sheets of differently colored veneer are prepped and stacked, then cut through all at once on the outlines of the cat. The pieces are reassembled with contrasting colors, producing multiple copies of the same design, though no two panels are the same in color. The process is demanding and complicated. Designed with an Art Deco character, this cabinet is made of cypress and curly cherry with veneers of birdseye maple, black dyed costello, mottled makore, and avodire.

Paula Garbarino Custom Furniture
I seek to make elegant furniture featuring charming marquetry and time-honored craftsmanship. I design and build for clients to suit their practical needs and aesthetic tastes. I have been a woodworker for over 30 years and a furniture maker for over 20. My training was formal and in traditional design and construction of 18th and 19th century styles. I continue to work in those periods but am also pleased to accommodate more contemporary looks. Please visit my website to see my entire portfolio.
