Decoration of furniture with veneers, mainly of wood (9)

I believe the answer is:

marquetry

(Other definitions for marquetry that I've seen before include "Inlaid veneers forming patterns on furniture" , "Wood inlay work" , "Inlaid decoration used on furniture" , "Handicraft" , "Art of wood inlay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
