Clavin Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 This came out cool, so I thought I'd post it. 7 pieces of pearl in pearl, "fall color" leaves against a highly figured MOP backdrop. Traditional Gibson shape mandolin sized truss cover. Engraved. Thanks for looking as always! Craig Lavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavin Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Thanks guys. Johnsilver- pearl pierced into pearl.. no routing of pearl! You cut out the shape internally, cut out the piece, then inset it into the backdrop. It looks perfect if your cuts are dead on, almost as if it was always there. I almost have some type of piercing in all my pieces. It's just a cool effect this time around because the pure white heavily figured pearl contrasts so well with the subtle red and green abalone pieces that it's not too bold but very obviouse. It's almost like a winter scene. Sometimes the smallest comissions are my favorites. Thanks again. More soon. I'm plenty backlogged for orders! Have a great holiday guys.

aeli Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 The bottom right leaf is an amazing piece, seriously. Infact, you should have put it in the middle of the whole thing. Simple and beautiful is nicer than complicated and beautiful in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
