Default Peghead Veneer

Bill fabricated the peghead veneer today. This composite shot shows the fabrication process. The first shot shows shaping and pocketing the Cocobolo veneer. Next, a curly Honduran Mahogany inset is cut and inset. An Ebony triangle is pocketed, cut and inset. This will be the triangle's shadow. Lastly, the MOP triangle, logo and B/W/B purfling is cut and inset.



The veneer is also purfled underneath to match the fingerboard purfling.



The reiteration of the rosette design theme can be seen in this comparison shot.
