Show Fine Woodwork The marquetry (Sixteenth century cen-tury art of blending delicately inlaid in-laid woodwork) representing the "Canterbury Pilgrims" in the cabin lounge at the 83.673-ton Queen Elizabeth Eliza-beth required not less than 66 separate sep-arate species of woods to compose. Woods used from native trees of the British Isles alone number 18 different types. They range from the humble plane tree of the London Lon-don str-eets, sycamore, laburnum, acacia, Wych elm to name a few of the lesser known English species. |
