Sources for inlay
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 2:37 pm
Hi, can anyone help me locate a supplier for the wood inlay seen along the front aprons of pedal steels - like the one on Bent's Blackbird? Stuart-MacDonald seem reluctant to ship MOP inlay outside USA (I live in the UK) - I haven't asked them yet about wood inlay. They only seem ticklish about some things, I've bought other parts from them", no trouble. Are there other suppliers?
I've just picked up some lovely clean maple and black walnut for the top and sides of my first PSG. Spent an hour looking at pieces put aside for me. My supplier couldn't help enough, nothing was too much trouble. He planed it for me through the thicknesser while I watched. The wood is free of defects and "sings" when you tap it - even old cloth-ears here can hear it. I'm quite excited.
