    Cheers Guvna
    Thanks Sonic, if I remember correctly you love your offsets, this could be the kit for you.
    Thanks Andy, there are still grain marks that will most likely polish out or will have to do more clear.
    Thanks FW, it's getting there very slowly.
    Cheers Deddy, by "one day" does that mean you have one on the way and will most likely have it finished before I even get the neck glued in on this one?

    Been trying to make some progress with this one, more adventures in inlay making.
    Scanned and printed the sketch, cut out and glued to the pieces of white MoP shell.

    Used a 2mm drill bit so could get the jewellers saw blade in to cut the inner shapes.

    You may notice I managed to break off the pointy bit of the back of the B, oops, call it a design change.

    Took three goes at cutting the separate flourish thing, not entirely happy but not willing to waste any more shell on it, should look OK from across the room.

    In case you're wondering how much space gets taken up making such a small item

    If that wasn't fun enough, now have to cut recesses for the 1.3mm thick inlay pieces, may take a while.
