I started thinking about Fall and Fall colors, Halloween coming in a few weeks… The brown in the ebony fretboard led me to choose Thuya burl for the headstock inlay. I put in an ebony inlay for the first time, around the perimeter of the headstock. I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to bend the inlay around the curves! I ended up hand cutting the curves at the base of the headstock from leftover fretboard wood, using an inlay saw. I cut the slots for the tuners using my little Harbor Freight mini mill. That mini mill comes in handy for so many things.
