Official Luthiers Forum!

Here is one I did this summer. Steve Wheeler graciously helped me do my first Rosette Inlay. THANKS BUD! This was originally sealed with CA which stained the wood in a wierd way. I could not get all the stains out. So its sort of splotch. This was then resealed with Shellac and then clear over the top. The pics show some dust as it hung in my garage for a few days while I built some cabinets.

Looks good! What is the fretboard material?

The fingerboard is some very old rosewood with lots of figure. Its on the tail graft too. It's gonna get one coat of True-oil to rich'n it up a bit. The bridge and headstock plate are from the same pile but had different grain.

Thanks
Joe
