    Seriously, these things are freaking awesome! If you haven't got one yet, get one!

    Shinto Rasps are awesome, StewMac dragon rasps and razor files are also great for head and neck shaping adjustments

    Superb effort. I do like inlays.

    A lesson I learned with the resin... I added blue glitter to the mix, you know, just coz awesomeness factor.

    Turns out that heavy particles like glitter just sink to the bottom while it sets.

    If I had routed a shallower grove for the inlay the glitter may have been visible, however I was trying to remove body mass to reduce the weight.

    If I attempt something this again later I'll invest in the proper epoxy pigments rather than just using chalk dust.

    Potentially you could have done two epoxy pours? lay the glitter/flake on top of the first pour and run your second pour over that?
