I am doing a very basic star desin for my logo, made from shell, I want to highlight it by simply making three lines conecting the ouside points to the inside points. I have scratched the lines into the shell,I tried a childs marker , then a sharpie, but when i wipe the excess off the surface, it cleans out the scratched lines as well, maybe someone can give an idea of the process that works for them , thanks Jody

Laskins inlay stick http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tools/Special_tools_for:_Inlay/Laskins_Engraving_Filler.html it comes in white too but im not sure exactly how you wanted to highlight your star. hope that helps a bit

Thanks paul, that should do it ! I am in the middle of french polishing, I guess the headstock will need to waite awhile ..... Jody

Paul, do you happen to know where one can buy the white Laskins filler?

Cheers,
Dave F.

I'd suggest contacting Grit Laskin himself!. He'll soon tell you if other colours are available (..given his beautiful work, might even have other suggestions how to achieve what you want.)
