I rarely post pictures of my projects, but I thought I would post a couple pics of some inlay I have been working on.

This is going on a guitar for my mother. The design has been a bit tuff for me (floral theme). I am not really an inlay guy. I haven't really done much inlay at all in years, but it has been fun getting back into it a little more.

This is the rosette area.



I had to try a couple times before I got the look I was after on the heastock inlay. The rose on the top is the one I will be using.


Thanks to Chris V. for helping me along the way with advise and tips .

Peace,Rich

Yes , That spruce likes to really get furry if you as you route. I wound up cutting the pattern with a razor knife and using a chisel to pop about 1/8" back to the pattern line. I was really wishing I was placing it in ebony after I was into it a bit.

That sure is pretty! I love the piece of white MOP that shows the folds in her dress...just gorgeous. From where I sit the inlay looks flawless.

I like your choice for the headstock rose as well.

Rich,

That is really excellent work! Thanks for sharing. Both the design and choice of materials and colors really make it stand out.

Now I know who to ask for advice when I attempt one.


Keep up the great work,

Peter

That is wonderful inlay Rich, very tasteful. I especially like the way the soundhole conforms to the countours of the inlay. Very artistic. Your mother will be thrilled, I'm sure.
