Thanks tadol, I'm pretty old school with inlay cutting although the new titanium fret/jewelry saw works better than the old steel one I have:
I also have a coffee mug full of needle files on clean-up duty.
When I can do the inlay on the background piece before I glue it to the guitar, for instance, rosette donuts or arm bevel bananas.
Hmm, that's not very clear.
When I have a laminate that I use for a rosette or the laminate that goes on an arm bevel I don't really do inlay, I do marquetry. I'll take some pics of that
when I get to the arm bevel on this guitar.
