Well, you all gave me some very good ideas on how this can be done, still in a very simple way!
Unfortunately, this will have to be remebered for a next time, since my inlays are in the neck already!
Thank you very much for the input!
I didnt post these before due to lack of time, but here they go!
I mixed a paste of RW shavings, wood glue and some dark brown paint. This helped covering some imperfections on the inlay (which in the end were not so many, considering how this was done!).
Here they are, inserted and with lots of that mix squeezing out.
And after sanding down:
I am actually VERY pleased with the results! the MoP was itself of not so high a quality, but i wanted to experiment since this was my first time doing any kind of inlay, and it made no sense spending a lot on quality MoP.
As for now, I have made a 12" radius sanding block, to get the radiused fretboard. My thanks on this go to Jwells, who sent me a link to a very interesting project!
Again, I could have bought this block from Stew Mac, but it makes no sense to me to pay about 20 bucks for a piece of wood to come all the way from the States and still be charged import taxes on it.
This block cost me almost nothing to make (just one afternoon of work), and I could always buy a readily made one later if it didn't turn out good, which was not the case! Pics to come!
Cheers, and thanks for reading!
