Popular Post Dave Monk Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I want to thank @Jim Blume for the great pattern. I used 3M 77 spray glue to attach 1/8" BB to 1/4" BB backer. Frame made of poplar and stained Minwax black along with the backer. My first fret work project in quite a while.

preprius Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 high contrast really makes this version easy on the eyes. But my brain keeps thinking the light is the holes. But my brain is wrong. That makes a lot of wood cut out. Very pleasant to look at, but hard on the brain. Well executed. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Very well done, Dave. That sure is a delicate project. Nicely framed. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Nice job, Dave. If this was your first fret work in a while you ought to be back in the swing of things with all those cuts. When I'm cutting something that fragile, I'm always worried I'll have a piece break out. Again, great job! Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a pattern like this I would use a flame on low to burn fuzzes off the back. Works good. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjweb Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Another beautiful piece Dave, even though it’s been awhile since you did fret work, you have not lost your touch, RJ Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about burning the fuzzes off. I thought that would blacken the wood, especially the lighter, softer wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
