Hello everyone,
Thought I'd share a couple pics of my latest creation. The BP inlay is cut from Osage Orange and Peruvian Walnut, no paint just the natural wood colors.
Hope you like it.
John

Very nice! If possble, could you take a close up of the inlay at like a 45 degree angle so we can see the wrokmanship and the inlay wood grain better. It looks very nice.

Thanks everybody. I am really pleased with how it came out. It took the better part of a weekend to cut and inlay the Ball. The guitar itself took 5 or 6 weekends. The hardest part was trying to get it all to flow and look like a 3-dimensional snake and not flat roadkill. I'll try to get a good close-up shot but my camera is a cheapo so it might be tough.
I build 10-12 guitars a year. It gives me something to do besides look in the incubator 50 times a day!

Thanks,
John
