The inlay technique interests me as I have done quite a few (around 170) guitar neck inlays quite a few years ago, and it was always very time consuming as it was a hand tools job for me apart from a bit of light roughing out with a router.
Yours loom extremely crisp, but I am not familiar with the tool you refer to.
I would like to get back to that kind of skilled work.

That's right, Rob. I used Maloof's poly/oil finish. I used to sand to 1000 grit and put 6-8 coats of finish on. But I decided I didn't like the shiny, burnished look that the wood acquired. So instead, I sanded this piece to 320, and did only two coats of finish. It has a lovely texture to the hand, and a duller sheen, which I like. I'll probably stick with it.
