Straw marquetry patterns

Straw marquetry is a beautiful way to decorate all sorts of stuff from boxes to fancy furniture.
In this video I walk you through the steps I took in my trip down marquetry lane.

Hi, I'm Maher from Egypt.
I loved the art of straw and learned it from you.
I want to know how to get the raw straw. Thank you in advance

@@maherelsayed5947 hello Maher, I got my straw from www.somethingcorny.co.uk/ hope this helps.

Have you tried any large scale pieces? Something sculpted with straw marquetry? I’ve seen a few pieces that have amazing colours in sculptures but no tutorials.
Thanks for sharing this starting point I will give it a go.

The massive straw sculptures look amazing and very intimidating. It's not something that I've tried before, but I guess if you learn how to weave a straw basket that should give you the technique required and the confidence to try something bigger. Let me know if you have any success with it. 👍
