Your inlay work is more then LOVELY.  How do you cut the pattern into the wood you're going to lay the "inlay" onto.  Lazer?  I love so much to work with an abalone shell called PAUA from New Zealand.  I get a very thin Paua shell from a company in Maui.  I've been putting this on my instruments: (harps, banjos, bowed psalteries) HOWEVER I'd like to learn more how to do it smack on the wood like you do your inlays.  Is my only choice LAZER?  and have other folks do that for me?  thanks if you can answer me.  aloha, Irene

You have made some lovely dulcimers
