.In yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle.

"Larry Robinson has built ornate, museum-quality inlay work on guitars since 1975. He designed C.F. Martin & Co.'s millionth guitar - a masterpiece of baroque and Victorian imagery made from abalone, mother of pearl, sea snail, pink mussel, gold, silver, emeralds, rubies and aquamarines. Robinson, 57, describes himself as "kind of a hermit" and works out of a 28-foot-long 1955 trailer parked in his driveway in a remote part of west Sonoma County . . .

Was most impressed by Larry's work while attending Symposium's back in the 80's.
I'm sure his skills have not diminished.
