| Post subject: | rose inlay material |
I am doing a rose inlay on a fretboard. I was wondering what kind of inlay material would be good for a red rose?. I thought about using red tortouise. But I really would like something more bright;shiny. I really don't want a pink pearl but a redder material..Any ideas??? |

Red coral recon stone, Red corain, red acrylics, Anything red hard enough to cut and sand properly. Or a mix of all those above to get shading and accents the way you like. Good luck. Craig L |

I prefer using nothing but organic materials so I've always inlaid my roses in either mother of pearl or pink shell. |
