Hi Guys,

Bordeaux Inlay is offering a beginner /intermediate inlay class on July 21-22 at my shop in upstate N.Y.
Info available by PM or via my web site once my web guru updates it. Class size will be limited to 6, with the possibility of a second class depending on interest level.
Hope to see you this summer!

Here's a few more basic ukulele inlays. More photos to come...


Here's a gambling themed inlay developed with Buck Owens and Steve Davis. Note the "pole dancer" awaiting a fret to hold onto .




A twist on the standard "tree of life" substituting koa for most of the vine.

Paul is that inpregnated Koa?

Michael,
No, it's virgin koa

Actually, I had to google this,(Impregnated koa), to find out if it was real.
Wow, you OLF'ers are a knowledgeable bunch!

The koa used in the inlay was the scrap from the back cut out for the guitar the inlay was installed on. (Say that 5 times fast!)

Paul, we've got an expert in acrylic impregnation of woods as a sponsor and participant, Larry Davis (Gallery Hardwoods). Some beautiful stuff that I keep being tempted to buy, but haven't quite gotten around to...

Ahhh....
When I googled the term, the first link was to a Bass forum which had a discussion on it by no other than Larry!
That small world thing is happening.

The reason I asked Paul was I did a vine a while back with raw Koa and it srunk bad on me then I read about Larry's process. I have not tried it yet but plan to soon.

Thanks Guys,

Funny thing is that the builder hated the idea until he saw it complete. He then ordered another.
