Hello everyone,

Happy new year to everyone, and hope this year brings more luthiery, friendship, and happiness (and business :shock: ) to all! Here is officially the last inlay to be completed from 2009, and the first to be posted in 2010 (from me at least)
A ukulele headstock and neck tiki and rainbow/orchids scene.
For some reason my image hosting service is only letting everyone post small sizes (that or I have no clue how to use it), so if you would like to see all of the most recent work, It's been posted on my face book page.

Anyone who wants to be friends great! [clap]

Here is the link- http://www.facebook.com/#/profile.php?r ... 1243604540


Thanks most sincerely for looking, and thanks for letting me post these images here! Next up- apples and bees, some flowers, a portrait inlay, A taz scene (yes Warner Bothers), and more.

Thanks guys,

This one took about 2.5 weeks off and on.
The rainbow was a bit challenging finding the colors, it's made of stones, corians, and acrylics.
The red and yellow are corian, the green and purple and orange stones, the blue acrylic.
