You know- we all need a little trout..
:roll: :roll:

This is a smaller level piece from an image the client requested specifically. The trout is white river pearl, black pearl, pink mussel shell, gold pearl, the water MOP and black pearl, The mayflie is black pearl, silver bezel, and abalone.

There is another version trout finishing up with no owner yet. It's a situation that rarely happens but if your interested in seeing it, or better yet OWNING it, (it's on a dark ebony veneer with no home yet), let me know and I can quote you a price. It still needs to be finished, in a day or so. Pics soon.

Thanks for looking. Lots more on the way.

Those dots (spots)---are they inlayed?
Or are they engraved?
Great work Craig.

They are engraved Steve.
I'm Craig Lavin. Not Larry Robinson.. laughing6-hehe

Thanks Guys.
The next rainbow trout one is a more action-like pose. Bigger features, more my own style. This was a "here is the picture" inlay.

Funny Steve, even with the spots engraved it still turns out to be a 45 piece inlay.
No such thing as "small" anymore.. idunno

Fantastic inlay. Love rainbows. Should have a been a caddisfly though. They are the ones that pop through the film so fast that the trout break the surface trying to catch them. But that's entymology not guitar building.
Banner job!

The other is almost finished.
Had to go in and make a fix.

If you want to sense movement this next one has it ALOT.
It's totally not the one here, but a first version that was made by accident.. :oops:
Lots of water splash, much more fish "in your face" jump action as It's from a different visual angle then this one. More color too if you can believe that.. and bigger as well. Also- she's single.. Maybe someone wants to take her home wen she's all done..

holy moly...

i'm ok with dots...as long as you're ok with the 'new style' 14th fret marker....

first that jazz box to drool over, now this...jeez, tough week.

i'm thinking of setting up a charity for ham fisted guitar butchers...maybe just a thread for me so i can look at work in it and feel good inside for once...

sigh, well done man, that is excellent.

That is some really fine work Craig. Ever consider a Laskinesh scene with perhaps a rocky stream on the fingerboard and a fly fisherman with a trout on the line on the peghead?

Post subject:  Hi John..
I considered that Grit already did a fly fisherman on a peghead way better then I ever could and that was the last of it. :lol:

The next trout is almost finished. it's called trout 4.0

This one is the 2.0 version.. :shock:

Cool trout! and if I didn't know better, I'd say that was an ephemerella simulans that he was jumping up for!

Post subject:  Re: A little Monday night rainbow trout..
it sure is, and since this is the 4.0 version trout, it is much faster and won't miss it like the 2.0.
Author:  clavin [ Tue Jul 08, 2008 10:05 pm ]
Post subject:  No- this is the 2.0
This one is the 2.0

The 4.0 is almost finished. Please lets keep out trout upgrades proper..
:lol:

hi Craig
Exquisite work, I can hear the splop it’s that life like.
And the image it’s self reminded me of those far of day off my youth, cycling then walking for miles to get to the wee lochins and deep peat burns high up in the moors to our secret hunting ground for the “bleck troot”.
Thanks
Geordie
P.S. is it the depiction of a natural scene or has the may fly deliberately positioned there - these invisible lines, you know. ;)
