here is a fret board copied from a guitar in a Museum in AZ

here is another shot of the celtic moon

Ain't gonna see too many of those!

Wow. Those would take me a zillion hours to cut. Incredible work

Ad astra!! Nice inlay work! Now think about a rendition of the Pillars of Creation Nebula...might be good for the headstock. ;-)

In all fairness David Nichols cut the celtic moon and the 2 stars I did the rest Larger inlay is easier than tiny one

we can do a live feed on this sometime in the future

Beautiful and unique inlay.

Vdry nicely done. Did you cut the fret slots after the inlay? If not, how did you inlay up to the slot without going over ot?

you have to inlay then open the pearl for the fret slots
your chances for keeping it in line are slim to none .

Once inlaid I use a fret saw to open the slot then us a 1/32 bit to open just the pearl so the barbs of the fret wire don't break the pearl.

To be clear, there were no fret slots when you did the inlay, then you cut the slots, then you opened up just a little bit the parts of the slots that hadl pearl to prevent chipping
