Hey everyone, It just occurred to me that tagua nuts (also known as vegetable ivory) might make a good inlay material?
Does anyone have any experience with them? Any thoughts?



Thanks, Jebarri

Yeah, nice rosette. Looks cool with the fretboard end.

Works like ivory- you may want to back it as it get translucent when thinner.
Good luck.
