cSuttle Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi Guys, Well, I'm well into my 2011 video project. (you can follow along on my web-site www.sharkinlay.com) First off I have to say I really like the way this guitar is built. Very nice workmanship by J. Thayer Guitars. I'm going to be doing a completely over-the-top inlay on it based on the god Odin. (Thor's Dad) I'll post update pics when available. The Guitar The Plan 95% of the pieces are cut.

HuntinDoug Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Cool! I like the way you took the inlay into the bevels...very nice. Is there anything on the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 How many legs is a horse supposed to have? Most have four, but them Norse deities did everything in a big way (Cue Wagner opera with Bugs Bunny.) Sleipnir, Odin's Steed had eight. Truly awesome and appropriately over the top!!

cSuttle Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 How many legs is a horse supposed to have? Ah, you're actually paying attention. Odin's horse, in the myth, has eight legs. The inlay has seven, the eighth would be under the bridge in this design, so it doesn't show. It was really hard to figure out where to put those extra legs.

cSuttle Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Cool! I like the way you took the inlay into the bevels...very nice. Is there anything on the board? Actually those pieces are just going to be trimmed off. We talked about rolling it over the edge, but the client is painting the bevels so there would be no point in that.

VirgilGuitar Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 This is very cool - what material are you using for the white part of the inlay that looks like marble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 This is very cool - what material are you using for the white part of the inlay that looks like marble? It's recon stone. I think the color is called Nero-Blanco or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mender Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Update: I got around to cutting the final pieces. Next step is the hole. Your skills are amazing, and your patience is beyond belief. It must take many hours to create so many bits that fit together so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silasklug Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 That inlay is wonderful, it looks perfect on that guitar! Whenever I think of a design that complected, I can only think of painting it. The fact that you inlay ed that blows me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm seeing some nice details added to the skin and hair. The changes in the armour are throwing me a bit. In one pic it's grey, in the other white. Looking back, I'm guessing that's a function of light angle and reflection? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR The armor is actually metal (nickel), so it changes look in the pictures depending on how by mid-range camera see its and how the flash highlights it. In real life is looks like steel.

cSuttle Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 You try riding a 8 legged horse with out looking awkward. The wrist was necessary in order to get the spearhead on the guitar. Plus that position is possible, it just would be comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
