Got sick of waiting on supplies for french polishing the classical so got started on guitar number 3 a dreadnaught 6 string. Attached is a pic of the soundhole inlay. The shell is abalone with BW border. Inner and outer rings are double runs of BWB purfling.  |

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Yes it looks great Martin - very nice!!
Are the inner and outer purfings just the same as around the shell only doubled?[/QUOTE] Thats correct. The purfling is all Stewmac 0.9mm thick BWB...doubleed up on inner and outter rings. The shell came in 25mm square pieces from a local supplier here in Australia but I suspect he buys in from same source that Stewmac use. Some of the shell looked a bit grotty straight out of the packet but luckily I inlaid the shell a bit shallow and had to sand it back a tad which improved the look of the abalone. Everything was set out on a dry run using channels cut into a polyeurethane chopping board. I then used this to set up the router for cutting the actual soundboard. If youre doing it this way make sure you set the cutter a litle inside the sides of the channels in the chopping board. All cutting was done with a full size router and circle cutting jig. Cutters used were double flute carbide straight cutters. |
