Great piece of art, Craig. It'll almost be ashame to put tuners and strings on. I think everyone here enjoys watching with anticipation to see what your next feat of magic will be. Craig S. |

I'll post some praises here soon, I'm looking thru my Thesaurus to find something worthy of Craig's work that hasn't already been posted!

Lance, thank you -- you took it the way it was intended. Mrs. Kragenbrink will see the image of the frog as the one she kissed that produced the prince of a guy you are today.
Craig -- you are a constant source of inspiration. You can't post enough images. |

That is amazing, Craig. BTW how are you hiding the pop rivets?

Yet another fantastic piece Craig. Lance, did you give him a pic to work from or was this all from his mind? |

Beautiful! I'm inspired. Old Man you cracked me up with the warts joke. You know you could put a row of flies down the fret board for markers. It does look like the frog has the range on something. |

It is a beautiful inlay job , but, with the rookie's freedom of ignorance - I have to ask, "Isn't it placed upside-down"?
Great for the player, but not for his/her audience. |

Thanks guys for your as always never ending support! Lance decided on an theme, then he found a photograph for me to work from. Given it's based on a photo that cut the design time down. Believe it or not the materials processing took the longest. The corian had to be obtained, then thicknessed, then blah blah.. Processing materials took about two hours, cutting about 4-6 maybe. overall the inlay took me about 10-15 hours give or take. I never really count the time. All I worry about is the end result. How do I do it? Commissions
And right now I am relatively open with little wait time on smaller things. I still have my next personal project (John K get ready!), plus some other trades, etc.. but no waiting list for paying clients. Anybody need inlay??
