		KOPF: But you hadn't sort of taken a step the way other people were sort of designed to head to Vermont and build their own homes or something like-I mean there wasn't going to be an architectural component of that, but it was gong to be more the-your own creativity.
		KOPF: Yeah, I mean, it would be nice if you could see that, but gosh, it was just a great opportunity for me to show the work there and so I was thrilled and pleased that people lent their work for the exhibition, and to be put in that context.

	USA or UK veneers
		As Silas is a furniture maker he generally uses packs of veneers, (often up to ten veneers in the pack) in order to ensure consistency of design when multiple marquetry inserts depicting the same design are required for a piece of furniture.
		Silas operates the clamping system by opening and closing the clamp by just pulling the foot bar towards or away from him.
		The saw you see Silas using in this photo runs on an arrangement of "slider" bars that ensure that the saw blade will cut the veneer pack (of perhaps ten veneers or more) at an exact 90 degrees to the face of the pack.
