This is the way we designed the inlay. It’s made of black mop and red abalone.

YumYum :agreed:
This design and choise of woods can carry just about any color scheme and finish.
Vic certainly knows his stuff.
I know he usually does lacquered finishes, but this one looks like a silky/gloss oil finish; is it?

Wow, pretty.

Oh, and I'm a big fan of the band, too, especially the last two discs. Excellent stuff!
