Hello all,
another newby with questions while I wait the arrival of my machine.
I'm wondering if anyone has strayed from the known acceptable materials list and tryed anything different? Shell, abalone, Mother of pearl perhaps.
Has anyone tried to cut and inlay materials, and if so, how small, and how successfully?. I'm considering using this to inlay headstocks on guitars. The cut materials will be inlayed into rosewood or mahogany before they are applied to the instruments.
What seems to be the best test material?, MDF seems like the likely answer, am I right, or is there a better choice, and why.
Thanks for any tips you can supply.
