I figured I'd try my hand at inlaying a face, again. Since its delivered already, I was hoping the resident experts could give me some feedback. The inlay is based on a compilation of pictures (and Led's signature) that was drawn by a friend.

I hope this works:

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated. I was wrestling with which materials to use, and, with my limited supply, ended up using Black MOP for most of the inlay (Led is Hawaiian and has a darker skin tone), because I thought white MOP would've been too light.

That's very impressive! I'd be interested to see other inlay projects that you've done.

Thanks for asking, and since you did, may as well throw in Led's Dad's guitar inlay further down the FB:

And the first portrait:
