    What is ‘a sheet’ of mother of pearl? Is t mother of pearl a shell? Questions…. And once the ‘mother of pearl’ is cut w the jig saw how are the paper thin layers made? Beautiful but to an artists eye this lovely work is still a mystery

      The mother of pearl is a shell from an oyster, abalone, or turban snail. The shell is sliced thin before it is cut with the saw (I have no clue how though).

    where did they find so many huge sheet of mother-of-pearl?

    • @lovespototo
      @lovespototo Před rokem +8

      It's actually a bunch of shells thinly sliced and glued together. Think wood veneer. It looks like the plaster a bunch of these sheets together in stacks that way they can cut a bunch of shapes out at once using the saw.

      How did you miss the part of the video where they coated the box in multiple layers of lacquer?

      My Korean mom has one of those wardrobe inherited from her grand mother. It's more than 150 years old and still looks good as new.

      It's also being coated in lacquer, which do not deteriorate like normal epoxy glue, mother of pearl arts have been done for thousands of years and many pieces have stood the test of time fpr hundreds of years as long as they're kept well
