A Jade-like Resin Art
Tyler got the jade resin art with a green & red mix. It beautifully matches the traditional Korean theme. He will cut from these plates where green is dominant with subtle red.
Headplate candidates
Tyler is also preparing some inlay segments.
Metal Works
Now it is time to work on the brass parts.
These will become the sound hole plug.
And there go the brass & resin side fretboard markers.
The hole will be filled with the resin segment.
There is crazy detail work for another brass part for the inlay on the back.
Inlay Art
Inlaying resin segments and the brass part on the back.
The inlay on the top
The octagonal frame was done with flame koa & jade resin art segments.
Inlays on the fretboard
A test run for the sound hole plug
Now Tyler tried to fit the brass-and-wood soundhole plug here. The wood part will be constructed with Ebony.
The headplate inlay
Inlay jobs are done. The body assembly will be next.
We'll be back with more in the next post.
