The rye straw sample, to choose well
In marquetry as in re-seating, the shade is essential. Because rye straw is a living material whose colour naturally varies with the harvest, the terroir and the preparation work, this sample helps you compare the shades and select the straw best suited to your project—furniture, decorative panels, restoration or creative hobbies.
A reference for your projects
Once the shade is chosen, remember that marquetry calls for flattened straw, ready to glue, while chair re-seating is worked with raw, unflattened straw, lightly dampened. The structure and shade may vary from one batch to another: this is the signature of a natural material.
