Better in wood or shell?

[Dave Bagwill]

The pattern beneath the bridge - this is from an 1837 Martin - I would like to add that little touch, since I make my bridges like that one for certain guitars.
I do not yet have the skill to make that, or the time right now to learn it - who do you think would be able to make a few of those for me?

Would look good in either material. Are you wanting to reproduce the "line" around everything, or just use the outline?

[Dave Bagwill]

I'm thinking just wood, solid, the outline only. I'd pick something contrasty.

Michael Gurian might make them for you.
