These came out pretty good, so I thought I'd share a pic.

Nice work! you might want to take another photo with a Canadian coin so our friends north of the border can get a sense of scale.

You said it came out pretty good.... It looks a lot better than just pretty good.

Actually, that might cost John more to do...their coin may be worth more than ours is....

Nice work John!

Thanks again. Yes, it's CNC. Yes, it will be available for everybody. It's a D45 Flowerpot such as found on the Eric Clapton and Stephen Stills signature models. Here's the whole inlay....

PS - thanks for noticing Hesh....I love that lens.

Not quite Don, but we are getting closer, or should I say you are getting closer.



Time for another trip across the boarder or to start buying tone wood

Jon, Awesome work as usual.

Is that a sample piece as it's not running with the grain of the wood?
Author:  Kim [ Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:55 am ]
Post subject: 
Very fine work indeed John, so will the flower pot make up part of a range of themes you will make available in matched headplates and faux bound fretboards??

Cheers

Kim

Thanks! Rod, the customer provided the wood with datum points indicated, so I guess there's a rhyme and a reason.

Kim, that sounds pretty good....yeah....I'll do that. Maybe do the traditional inlays in the fingerboards as well. Who knows.

It'll be the first of the year before any of that happens, For now I just wanted to show em' off 'cause I was really happy with how they turned out.

NIIIICE !!  Looking good John!  I love the CNC inlays because the tolerances are so tight and there is virtually no gap to fill.. really clean lookin!

Nice work, John.   
Some great shots, too. Looks like lots of fun with tweezers inlaying that one.
