Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

We had a beautiful day here in the Northern Rivers, and I made--I think--great strides....

Tomorrow sees the frets filed back to the board, and then I can start, I guess, sanding for finishing...

What do you all think of my effort at inlay?

Also radiused the fretboard. Kinkade likes a CR 12" 1st, 14"12th. Being more an electric player, I thought I'd try this...not a tele, but not flat....even took the wife down to the pub for a acouple bevvies... :D

I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Cheers,

Looks pretty good to me. After doing a bit of inlay myself I've decided I just don't have the patience for it.
