Been working on this about a year in my free time. 34" scale, J200 body. The inlay is MOP, cherry and india ink/CA glue slurry for the little bit of red. |

Thanks guys. The toughest part was researching the subject. It took weeks. My wife was a real trouper about it since it's art and all. I don't like the clarity of the pictures though. I took these and uploaded with my iPad. Next time I'll use my Nikon. |

Nice. Did the censor get to the last picture? It looks a bit different in the, ahem, "chest" area. Maybe just the lighting/reflection. |

Thanks guys. Colin, I think thats just the flash accenting the black mother of pearl in her swim suit. I cut each part of her anatomy from a different piece of shell. So some parts stand out more depending on the angle of light. I unintentionally made it so as I move the neck or light source it looks like she has either a one piece, two piece, or no bathing suit at all. |

Hey, Raymond, I love pinup art from the old days, and I love your pinup girl inlay. Beautifully done. I must say she compliments the voluptuous shape of your bass guitar, too. Very nicely done, all the way around! Patrick |
