[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Yes it looks great Martin - very nice!!
Are the inner and outer purfings just the same as around the shell only
doubled?[/QUOTE]
Thats correct. The purfling is all Stewmac 0.9mm thick BWB...doubleed up
on inner and outter rings.
The shell came in 25mm square pieces from a local supplier here in
Australia but I suspect he buys in from same source that Stewmac use.
Some of the shell looked a bit grotty straight out of the packet but luckily
I inlaid the shell a bit shallow and had to sand it back a tad which
improved the look of the abalone.
Everything was set out on a dry run using channels cut into a
polyeurethane chopping board. I then used this to set up the router for
cutting the actual soundboard. If youre doing it this way make sure you
set the cutter a litle inside the sides of the channels in the chopping
board. All cutting was done with a full size router and circle cutting jig.
Cutters used were double flute carbide straight cutters.
