[QUOTE=CarltonM] Bill,

I'd like to know how thick (deep) you like your inlay wood before it's in place and leveled. The same for the solid wood portions of your rosette. Thanks![/QUOTE]
To an extent it varies depending on what I'm inlaying into and what the design is. It's not something that I really measure...I just kind of get it to where I want it and say...OK that looks right. But I would say that it will vary somewhere between 1-2 mm.

Bill -- I am a little late here, but that is incredibly original work especially offsetting all the inlay to the left -- I really like it.

Question, how are you going to protect the wood inlay on the fretboard?

The inlay in the fretboard is Koa and if it were larger inlays I would consider using some stabilized material ...but this is actually small surface area so I soaked it with CA into the pores of the wood as much as possible. I think it will wear OK.

Thanks, Bill. So do you route at .5-1mm?

Very beautiful Bill. It is so nice to see a true artist's work.

Bill,

Yet another brilliantly designed and executed guitar. I need a thesaurus to compliment you! Let's see... synonyms for WOW!

Dennis
