Here's some purfling I just finished making up...Got tired of using the "out of the box" stuff, and made this up to compliment a new rosette. 
It's made up from b/maple/cocobolo/maple/b, with maple dividers between the cocobolo pieces. The cocobolo pieces are 1" long. Here's the matching rosette: 
Don't look too closely at the inside of the guitar...it's dirty in there! Needless to say, this one's still pretty rough...

So Russ, how much did that suck making those? They look awesome but I think I'd be pulling my hair out after laying up the first couple of lams. |

Paul...to put it in mathemetical terms: S = 10? where S= SUCK!!!!!!
Pretty fiddly and messy operation, this...I don't recommend it to anyone. If I were doing any number of these, I think I would farm it out. Jeff...to make these, I made up a laminate starting with a 6" x 36" piece of black laminate, then glued a maple veneer on top of that...the "filling" is 1" x 6" pieces of .050" cocobolo, with a lam of maple glued to one edge of each piece...these are stacked down the length of the b/maple lam. Then i repeated the bottom lam on top. making a sandwich. Then I ran this "sandwich" through the table saw , cutting 3mm strips of purfling. WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Quick question: what black laminate did you use, and where did you get it from? Lookin' good, by the way! Mattia |

Mattia, I used the black fiber veneer from LMI. I got the maple veneer from them also. The Zootman provided me with an "orphaned" cocobolo side to use for the filling. |
