Members fretless Posted November 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've been busy I did my first ever inlay work . I used Box Elder just finished making some fresh Shellac and I did a "egg wash " sealer coat . It may take a few days for the shellac to disolve but I think I'll get the neck on tomorrow . so you guys know the full story , we lost our beloved twins a couple months ago . Yin and Yang , sister tabbies . They were both 18 and had a wonderful life . Before they passed I had yang paint for me , she used "milk paint " I took those and did the inlay .

Members ~Abstract~ Posted November 23, 2012 Members Share Posted November 23, 2012 That's awesome! Sorry about the kittys. If one of my cats went walking thru paint like that, they would have "passed" too. Srsly cool story. Excited to see how it turns out. Great inlay work so far. I'd love to see more of the yin/yang on the back of the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a tiny inlay I scored off the bay . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted November 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 so here is where she is so far . I did an egg sealer , 1 Shellac wash coat and sprayed 3 coats of Shellac with a preval ( worked perfectly) . Just set the neck and now we wait . the back is really stunning too , can't get the pic just yet . and our new friend Ellie that we took in a few weeks back , you can see she has a deep concern for guitar assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already informed my kitties they are not allowed to die because I don't want to lose them, but more importantly I don't want to deal with wifey after they pass.

We ourselves can only hope to go the distance of a 80 or 90 year old kitteh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
