| Post subject: | Opinion... Zebra dots... |
I am building an OM with Peruvian walnut B&S, sinker redwood top, padauk fingerboard and bridge, and zebra wood bindings and radial Purfling. I've had a plug cutter for a long time and was thinking that maybe 1/4" zebra wood position makers might look good. I also have some 1/4" yellow mother of pearl dots and 3 mm abalone dots. Of course, I could also not put any position markers in, except for on the edge... What do you think? ...also, they could be placed with the lines of the zebra vertical, horizontal or random. I'm leaning toward Radom orientation... |

I might be a little compulsive, but random would look sloppy to me, my opinion only, curious to hear the others, Mike |

I used to use wood dots. However, I found over time that they oxidized/gunked over time so as to be nearly invisible. Perhaps if you surrounded it with brass or aluminum rod... |

The large pores in zebra might fill with dirt. Perhaps you could seal them with CA? |
