Mike, that really is a wonderful tribute to
your dad, so nicely done.

My dad is a grad of Univ. of Nebraska, I was born in Nebraska and I've
been thinking about doing the same thing.E He passed away many years
ago so he'll be a younger man in the inlay (younger than I am now, if fact)
but you really inspired me to get going.E Think I'll give it a try.E Good job
and thanks for the inspiration.

Bruce

[QUOTE=SniderMike] Thanks for looking. I think he'd be proud.

Beautiful work. I think he IS proud.

From a Sooner.. Wonderful work!  I know you will be remembering your dad for years to come with this beautiful art. 

Although my dad could not carry a tune in a bucket, he was a craftsman in the wood shop.  I am inspired by your tribute to do something to remember the F.O.M. (Fierce Old Man) as he refered to himself.  He's been gone 10 years last week.

We want to see the rest of the guitar!  Thanks for sharing.

Mike, I really appreciate this one. My dad passed away on Christmas Eve
a few years ago.

I also really like the style your inlays always have. They have their own
identity.

Thanks for posting.

what a great smile!
