A spot of mother of pearl inlaying.

>in the old days I used to grind abalone shells dry with a grizzly disk on a black and decker drill, Mixed up with a nice dose of nitro cellulose i'll be glad if I make my pension.

Oh gawd... Yeah, I fear that spores borne on a mist of WD40 have done me no favours whatsoever since moving down into the cellar to keep the machine company... What's the old adage - 'find what you love and then let it kill you...' Doubt it was meant literally, though..!

Would love to see some of your guitar work - do you have a site?

Thanks for the tip on installing the inlay - I've yet to try one personally, the work I do gets passed back to the client who runs a guitar/bass building course up here in Manchester and he goes through the process with his students. It's usually a nice tight fit - here are a couple I did a while back:

Superb stuff Wal - that's line I'm heading towards for my guitar logo's etc. I'll be picking your brains on this topic I'm sure as my design/build gets off the ground.

Hi Francis,

I'll try to drop you a line this evening - just working on a project this weekend and it's all consuming..!

Had a quick look at your site - my word, you build some beautiful guitars..!
