Last week you saw my aluminium alternative inlay; this week- mother of pearl. Here’s the head for Andrew’s twin-point; pearl inlaid into
some very nice African Blackwood.

An alternative……..
I’m sure that many of you will have heard about the latest CITES regulations, as quite a few of my instruments get exported; it got me thinking about alternative materials.
Apart from wood, I know some countries are fussy about pearl or abalone, so I thought that I’d experiment with aluminium for inlays on an electric mandolin that’s coming up soon.
I cut out this rather extreme N logo and inlaid it to some walnut- quite a satisfactory outcome!Labels: Gary Nava luthier, logo
