About the Item

Sailboat Out At Sea - Landscape Scene by Jeffrey Nelson Hudson River Inlay Landscape Scene by Jeffrey Nelson (American, b. 1959-). A sailboat sails across the sea as three birds fly above. The sail and birds are made of light wood, while the boat is made up of dark wood. The woods used are skillfully cut utilizing the unusual grains and figuring of the wood to portray movement or a different view of certain areas. Signed "Nelson" lower right. Jeff Nelson, one of the founders of Hudson Valley Inlay, is the company’s principal designer. Nelson’s wood inlay work began as a hobby in San Francisco in 1979. Trained at the renowned San Francisco Art Institute, he has contributed greatly to the renaissance that marquetry is enjoying today. Jeff has been featured in numerous articles and books about marquetry, and has received many prestigious awards. Hudson River Inlay states that they are committed to creating the world’s most enchanting and enduring marquetry in order to ensure that this art form will be treasured for generations to come. Presented in wood frame. Frame: 12.75"H x 9.75"W Image: 9.5"H x 6.5"W After the design is created it is finally tweaked into a fine line graphic drawing. I decide on the wood combinations (and some other material: such as mother-of-pearl, web turquoise, stone are incorporated). I purchase the woods from several veneer sources throughout the country. The veneers and other materials are cut with many tools. The veneers are approximately 1/16 of an inch, so they are very fragile and we need to be delicate with each piece as we lay the pieces down. The pieces are individually cut according to a blueprint that I make from original rough sketches as the initial stage. After I lay the pieces down, they are adhered with wood cement to a MDF board (the same material as the furniture industry uses for tables). I then sand the pieces for a smooth finish. The work is then pressed to give even pressure and eliminate any possibility of warping or unevenness. The pieces are finished with an acetate urethane (lacquer) and a semi-gloss finish. The frames are made of maple or cherry. I purchase the woods in strips and then I have a molding machine to shape the wood for the framing. I work with one artisan as we share in the craftsmanship and critique each other’s designs so as to get the best in each of us.
