Hi guys. Here is the back of the Jordan electric violin.

Image

And here is the front as a reminder.
Image

The luna moth is green poly backed with dyed ink green paper, gold and white pearl, black corian, and the orchids pink, white, gold pearl, the stem brown lip pearl. Abalone and corian make up the other plant areas. The poly is totally deep Irish green- for some reason it looks blue here- need a better camera??

Thanks for looking! This is getting one more small orchid inlay under the bridge area then it heads back to Ca.

Beautiful, Craig - as always!

What exactly is "poly"?

Thanks guys.
Polyester cast resin of some type. It's used for gun handles. It's as hard as any acrylic, but more flexible at this thickness. I use it a lot. Get it from Masecraft supply. Lots of great colors too!
