Yes, Tom Ellis has the inlay. I couldn't find a web site for Precision Pearl Inlay but did find a photo of the Flush inlay.

I saw a Royal Flush inlay for headstock somewhere along the way a couple of years ago. Any one know who created it, or where I might get a similar inlay for a headstock? Also looking for hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs inlays for fretboard and cant seem to find them from well known suppliers. |

The sign on the side of the plumbers truck says "In our bussiness, a flush beats a full house!!" Or, on the septic truck it says "We're #1 in the #2 bussiness" Oh- I believe Tom Ellis has the "royal Flush" inlay. |

 Thought this was a "mother of toilet seat" thread. Grandma's old seat is made of that stuff. Purdy

I can cut that type stuff for you if you can't find it as a stock item somewhere, Rich. The execution isn't a problem, but high-end work is high-end pricey if it's a one-off

The problem is that Tom has a minimal order size per component. I built a poker table some 6 years back for a close friend and wanted to use these very inlays. Tom's sales staff said the minimum at the time I checked was 30 units per component if I remember right |
