Q: Do you have Brazillian Rosewood?
A: I wish!!
Q: Can I send you my cover to put the inlay in?
A: I won't do it on the original cover, as once in a while, during the process, the shell will crack or chip, and I have to throw it out and start again. I'd hate to chance ruining the original .
Q: Can you inlay a plastic cover?

Q: Do you do pickguards?
A: I'm sorry I don't at this time.

Q: Can I get a discount if I order multiple pieces?
A: Please remember these are all done one at a time by myself, and not mass produced, but I am happy to discuss it and work something out with you.
Q: My leg hurts when I do this.
A: Don't do that.
Q: How detailed an inlay can you do?
A: Detail and size of the inlay, is limited to the inlay materials. Some materials are available quite large, and others are not. Everything is at least 1" x 1". As well, being that everything is hand cut, there is a limit to how small of a piece I can hold on to, and still cut it out. There are times when something will not translate well into an inlay.
Q: How do I know the cover will fit.
A: I do have many of the popular templates, but I have been surprised a couple times. I will work with you, and make sure you get a proper fitting cover.
Q: Do you accept returns?
A: I prefer to deal with this on a case by case basis.
