Floor Medallions are generally a centerpiece of flooring design that can be made with various flooring materials including natural stone, wood, metal, tile, glass or a variety of other materials suitable for flooring. The pattern can be created using various methods such as mosaic , intarsia , and marquetry . Image floor medallion.jpg frame Floor Medallion using stone intarsia full thickness puzzle piece assembly With a mosaic , small pieces of flooring material are put together to develop a pattern. This can be done in a direct, indirect, or double indirect method. In the direct method small pieces are set directly into a bonding substrate like cement. Using an indirect method the pieces would be placed face down against paper or other material with a temporary adhesive. After the design is completed face down the entire section would be set into the floor and then have the paper removed, revealing the mosaic floor. With intarsia pieces are cut to fit together like a puzzle. The pieces are generally thicker that those used in marquetry, and often full thickness rather than being laminated. For flooring the pattern is generally created face down so that it remains level and then flipped over and transferred into the floor. Marquetry is often associated with woodworking, but can be done with any thin material. With marquetry very thin veneer, generally 1 16 or less and is cut to shape and then laminated over another surface. Inlay is thicker than marquetry, generally 1 8 to 5 8 thick and is set within the material. Mosaics have a distinctly different appearance than intarsia or marquetry. Intarsia and marquetry can appear very similar, but marquetry is much more common when semiprecious, or precious materials are being used.

Harewood is wood that has been treated with mineral substances to alter its color. Unlike dyeing processes, making harewood involves a chemical change, rather than simply superimposing color on the material. Harewood first began appearing on furniture in the 17th century, when sycamore wood was treated with ferrous sulphate . The roots of the tree would be treated with the solution several years before the tree was felled. This mimics natural processes where sometimes trees will become exposed to soil containing certain elements. Making harewood will generally turn the wood silver or black in color. Because of its distinctive and contrasting color, harewood is often used in marquetry and parquetry . References Metcalfe, Jack and Apps, John 2003 . The Marquetry Course , London Batsford.

Joachim Tielke October 14, 1641 January 19, 1719 was a Germany German maker of musical instruments . He was born in K nigsberg , Duchy of Prussia Prussia , and died in Hamburg . A publication was dedicated to him by G nther Hellwig. Hellwig lists the total number of 139 instruments still existing of Tielke s oeuvre with lute s, Ang lique instrument angelica s, theorbo es, bell cittern s hamburger cithrinchen , guitar s, pochette s, violin s, viole d amore without sympathetic strings, baryton s, viole da gamba and bows. More recent research shows that all theorboes were originally either lutes with bent back pegboxes or are modifications of angelicas. The bows have shown to be non authentic. On the other hand, nearly thirty instruments not know to Hellwig have come up, among them the fragment of a baryton, a cello, more viols, guitars, lutes. Tielke s existing oeuvre is therefore one of the most comprehensive and by number close to that of Stradivarius Stradivari and the other great Italian makers. Tielke s instruments are famous not only for their marquetry and carved heards but also for their tonal qualities. A much debated question is that of the contribution Tielke himself made to the instruments signed with his name. The examination of his work leads to the idea that he engaged outside craftsmen and artists for the supply of carvings and marquetry, possibly even complete instruments.
