The most common places for marquetry to be glued onto is furniture, boxes or freestanding pictorial panels to be displayed as a painting in wood. Throughout history there have always been several different methods for cutting marquetry, including: knife cutting, Boulle style, piece by piece, double bevel, painting in wood, window method, laser cutting and CNC cutting.
