Apparently the same technique can be used with powdered metal (brass, bronze, copper).
Might be a whole lot classier than a water-slide decal for a headstock logo.
Hmmm, might have a practise go first....

hey Rabbitz seen a few pics of this method on FB but haven't tried it. I really dig some of the colours they use. Very interested to see how you go and if you can explain the method I'd give it a crack for sure.
Good luck

It appears to be quite a simple process - well the guy in the video makes it look easy
He must take off a fair bit of timber when he is sanding - to get rid of the CA glue he dripped everywhere.

Check out Tim's Hellboy build. He used powdered stone for the inlay.

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Thanks DB, I did a search but didn't have anything come up.
He clearly has more skill with a dremel than me!

Rabz, if I had half the artistic talent that my mate Tim has I would be a very happy boy... He makes everything look easy!

Rabbitz I would grab some scrap wood and start practicing dremeling (is that a word ? haha) a logo, more practice you get the better you will be on the real headstock
