Thanks all for the kind comments from my last group of pictures. I have the fret board glued on and I cut out and installed my hawk in the moon logo. When I was digging through my pearl stash I found a mostly white gold MOP large enough for my moon. I put the gold on the bottom of the moon and it washed to white toward the top. The gold really helps tie it into the the gold mop elephants. After inlaying the elephants I really like my 1" round logo allowing the use of a drill bit.

Here are a few pictures along the way.

Thanks John

I am getting a lot closer just need to make a nut and saddle.

I used an LMI vacuum clamp to glue on the bridge and pounded in the frets with a bit of LMI glue.
