Jeff Nelson – Hudson River Inlay
Jeff is a fine artist, working in wood. Each piece is meticulously handmade. The creation of an exclusive Hudson River Inlay begins first with a rough sketch by the artist. The next step is to capture the essence of the subject with just a few subtle lines that convey its motion and vitality. The result is a final line drawing that serves as a blueprint for each individual piece of art.
Next, the artist carefully selects the various woods for his palette...with an eye for the natural
grains and hues of the veneers that will give warmth and subtle shading to the finished work.
The veneers are precision cut, then assembled and finished by hand to form the one-of-a-kind
wood image. The result is a masterful piece of marquetry art of unmatched beauty and elegance.
