Inlaying the star into the fretboard
-
- Finished- An inlay to be proud of, well done Fiona!
-
- The inlay must be sanded flush to the fretboard surface
-
- The inlay is fixed in permanently with black superglue
-
- Fiona is routing the recess for the inlay to fit into
-
- A scalpel was used to score all the way round- rubbing in light coloured dust shows up the shape
-
- The inlay was fixed in place with ordinary white glue for marking out
You may remember Fiona a while ago making her Star inlay on our ‘build your own’ course. If you are interested I wrote a full explanation of how to inlay mother of pearl a while ago. Although the shape is different we used exactly he same method.
Now it is finished, looking beautiful and the neck is ready for fretting. She will be back soon to continue working on the rest of her guitar….
