Hi Guys,
Just finished this one up. Know that Paul did one of these before, guess he's a popular character.
Taz knows something is wrong, but he just can't figure it out.... Can you?

On the fretboard Daffy is having a worse time..
Have a great weekend.
Coming up- mermaids, mantas, and more mermaids..

Thanks for looking.
Craig

Hesh,
I didn't have time to post, but your latest black and "goldish" dread was the pretties dread I ever have seen. And I really don't think dreads are all that pretty..
[:Y:]

That is simply amazing. How long did it take to do each character and what materials did you use to make them.

Great stuff Craig. Taz is one of my favorites too but I swear, I cannot figure out what's wrong either.

It looks to me that the lighting is wrong on the devil. Nice work.

Headstock Taz is two shades of pipestone, not one. He can't figure it out..

Peter,
The materials are gold pearl, pink mussel shell, ebony, mother of pearl, black pearl, red corian, dark and light pipestone.
Forget the total time. Maybe a week and a half on and off, with other inlays at the same time.
Craig

Your usual high standard Craig. What's the copyright deal on using cartoon characters?

You must have the patience of a saint. Very impressive. I would be happy to be able to put in a few fret dots on the neck let alone something like that.
