I didn't look through his catalog, but I guess if anyone has it or could make it for you, it would be Andy DePaule at http://www.luthiersupply.com . |

Andy DePaule is DeMan. Look at his individual inlay # 0073. I think that matches what you are looking for. |

Yeah I checked out DePaule and I did see that 0073. That's about as close as it gets but not spot on. That one looks more like a clover where as the one I am after looks more like Knights Templar cross or something. But that one is probably close enough and thank you for the suggestions.. |

Andy is pretty accommodating. He would probably cut what you want for a reasonable price. |

Don - did you look at # 0020? |
|

| Post subject: | Re: Where can I get this FB Inlay? |
0020 looks very close too perhaps even closer. |

| Post subject: | Re: Where can I get this FB Inlay? |
Gosh, those are tiny! I missed 0020. Yeah, that looks pretty good. Again, though, if you want an exact match, I bet Andy will do it for you and not charge an unreasonable amount. |

One more suggestion would be #215. |

Seriously, how hard would it be to make these with a piece of pearl and a jeweler's saw? |

I've tried my hand at cutting pearl. Maybe I just don't get it? Plus it seems to me that the cost in time to hand cut them myself vs buying is not a practical one. How would you go about cutting something so small? I guess the technique is to actually glue the pearl to a substrate, cut it, then delaminate it? How to you pencil out the outline? |

It is very difficult to cut those tiny buggers and get them anywhere close to even. Andy's Vietnamese folks do a very good job and it is hand cut, so there are some tiny variations. Looks very "original" and not CNC'd. |

Looks very "original" and not CNC'd. Yeah they do a good job even showing that up in their pictures. I like that actually. I don't farm out any work except inlay, I just can't do it. Well I probably could but I don't feel like investing the time. I do actually inlay the stuff but I can't cut anything complicated. For this customers guitar I am also going to get a torch inlay from Depaul. http://luthiersupply.com/torch-classic-peg-head.html No way I'd want to cut that myself! |

I used to cut my own inlay and I have suffered for it. It's about as healthy as breathing lacquer fumes. What is nice is that for a few bucks, they will develop your drawings and refine them. This was an inlay that I used to hand cut myself.  I could never hand cut a logo like that. Pretty darn good symmetry on that flowerpot too... |
