No problem, glad I could help. Feel free to email me if you can't catch me on here. I'll try to get back to ya as soon as I can. I usually don't mess with the inet on the weekends. My PC at home is still on dial up, and drives me to using words that are rated R.
Talk about maticulous, the guiar part of my inlay is in two pieces, cut about in the center of the neck part. It took me 3 hours to set the bottom piece. That was the hardest part of the inlay. It had so many curves and points on that one part that made it tough. The other parts didn't have as many areas to fit. The very bottom of the outer celtic part took the next longes time. It was a challenge, but it was also fun to see it come together. Keep us informed, and good luck!
P.S. Unlike cutting the pearl, when cutting a point, cutting the pearl, you would want to start at the point, when cutting the wood, cut the wood going into the point out first. Gives you room to work with the Xacto in the point to make it a real nice fit.
Another thing, once I etched the design on, I used the Xacto to go around and cut a wedge out. First cut straight down on the etched line, then cut an angled wedge from the side the pearl will lay in. This will give you a better bearing on where to cut. Helps to prevent unintentional cut of wood you didn't want to cut. Don't try to cut too deep, you will eventually have the blade lock up, then slip, and cut wood that you didn't want to cut. Or you may cut a finger. :OUCH:
You can kind of see what I mean by a wedge in this picture on the upper parts. http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c3/im181owne...itar_inlaid.jpg
