Clavin Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hi all- Here is my latest inlay for a Stephen Kinnaird acoustic. The client is a relative of "Buffallo" Bill Cody, so this has some meaning to him I'm sure. Materials are pipestone, black pearl, gold pearl, spiny oyster, purple/pink lapis, brown lip pearl, and it's engraved in white and black. Thanks for looking. This is a little diffeent for me- it's not a fish for sure Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Looks like the guy from Kentucky fried chicken... Oh my god Alex, don't insult this man!!! That's a hell of a great inlay job Clavin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavin Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Thanks Alex. Don't insult the colonel? What you don't like chicken? Here's a pic of the inlay in process and the art I went from so you can see the original picture. Thanks for your kind words! I changed out the black pearl hat for pipestone because I had to change the sizes. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavin Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Thanks guys. Brian- the tuning holes wil be drilled through from the back with a diamond bit, and then filed out to the wood boundary. I just like to get photos of my work as full image as possible, then again after it's finished and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
