This was for one of our own, a client of his actually. This one was a challenge of sorts, and really needs to be seen under the finish so the atlantine will shine and it's true colors show up. Under a finish this should pop a lot more, being made of ebony, black corian, black atlantine, white pearl, gold pearl and pink mussel.

Thanks for the look!
Craig

I've worked some up, if that will help. You could rub it on the inlay and bring out the color! Beautiful, Craig! I am in awe of your talents.

Thanks Guys,
Grumpy get up.... eek, but thanks.. ;)

Michael if this was realism it would be a big black ebony blob with nothing but white pearl all around the mouth waiting at the soundhole trying to get out..
I needed to keep the Koa dry anyway.. Something about relative humidity and stuff..

How come it's always dogs and no cats? Is this a female Vs. male thing?

Craig

Great work.
As a owner and breeder of newfoundlanders, dogs that is, and landseers I am very appreciative of such craftmanship.

Craig - Once again you have really amazed us. [clap] [clap] [clap]

You seem to have captured the emotion in the pup's face. His eyes say he's ready to run!

I'll try to get a picture of it with a finish over it so we can all see how it turns out.
I am as anxious as you are.
How do I do it John?

Luck.. :shock:
