The wood Is marble wood and the inlay was all hand scroll sawed out Including the pieces except the turned ebony sound hole plug

The neck is sand blasted African blackwood end grain and the base of the guitar is amboyna Burl
I have never really scroll sawed any thing before let alone an inlay any where but expect more inlay from me. and please let me know what you think of it

Adam,

I love it. I can appreciate how difficult the inlay was to do. It is a true masterpiece. Well done. []

Adam,
I weould love to have a blow by blow of how you did this. picks to boot.
your selection of inlay subject also stikes a CHORD with me (like that pun)
one of my other interests other than pen turning is guitar playing. I want a pen just like this only I want the inlay to depict an ovation acoustic in black.

Daniel and Adam...I guess we should form a new club as I also am a guitar player...and Daniel, I play Ovation's mostly. Funny how with people "the more we're different the more we're the same".

<b>BANG!!</b>

That is the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.
Another Heirloom is born!
Excellent craftsmanship and creativity.

The talent of the people on this site never ceases to amaze me. I would think that inlay work would be an excellent article for the magazine. Wonderful work Adam!

I am amazed and awed too! In time, I'd like to do an inlay with the medical cadeusus symbol as the inlay. Can I assume the inlay was done while the blank was still sqaure? I'm still new at this, so I apologize if this sounds like a really stupid question.

WOW! I like that! I am guitar player too! I fancy Larivee guitars hand made in B.C. Canada. They specialize in some VERY fancy inlays. Check 'em out if you are curious. www.larrivee.com

Too cool!

 

[tipusnr]

The inlay must be done after, at least, partial turning or how would you handle distortion? This WOULD make a good article!!

Adam, I can't say any more than has already been said. Incredible pen! I also play at the guitar and can't wait for the article on how you did this.
