Very funny wise guy. How are you going to decide which side up when she is on display? Not so funny now huh? Very nice. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2690 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 7:20 pm:    Here's the almost finished result: Just waiting for the bridge the day before we shipped it. Also, a closeup of the knot inlay: Which turned out great. I love how James selected the pieces - if you trace the path of the knot, there's a nice "flow" to the patterns. tom_z Intermediate Member Username: tom_z Post Number: 194 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 7:27 pm:    What a stunning piece!!

Cheers, Kevin jalevinemd Advanced Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 252 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 6:22 am:    Scott...beautiful piece. Could you enlighten some of us as to the meaning of the Tibetan knot? Not it's personal significance to you (unless you want to share) but, rather, its historical significance.

Of course, we did the inlaying. effclef Advanced Member Username: effclef Post Number: 368 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Thursday, March 16, 2006 - 5:50 am:    I'd love to hear Scott's comments, too. And I'd love to see closeups of the fretboard inlays! The Tibetan knot is a Buddhist symbol, along with these others - I am guessing the fingerboard inlays are Auspicious Symbols. Google reveals: 1. THE PRECIOUS UMBRELLA [PARASOL] (CHATTRA [S.] Rinchen Dug [T.] Sikur [M.]) denotes respect; gives protection from all evil and the heat of evil desires 2. TWO GOLDEN FISH (SURVANA MATSYA Sergyi Nya Jighasun) represent Buddha's eyes, hence Transcendent Wisdom; happiness and utility; symbolic of beings saved from the ocean of earthly life and suffering 3. GREAT INEXHAUSTIBLE TREASURE VASE (KALASHA Terchen-pahi Bumpa Bumba) the innumerable qualities of a Buddha's Body; contains spiritual jewels; the treasury of all desires 4. THE EXCELLENT LOTUS FLOWER (PADMA Padma Zangpo Badma) representing the purity of the Buddha's Mind; emblem of original purity; pledge of salvation, or Nirvana 5. PRECIOUS WHITE CONCH HORN [TRUMPET], WITH A SPIRAL THAT TURNS TO THE RIGHT (SHANKHA Dungkar Yakhyil Labai) symbolizes the sound of Dharma, which can be heard in all directions; proclaiming the fame of the saints; "the blessedness of turning to the right" 6. THE GLORIOUS INTERWOVEN KNOT OF LIFE (SHRIVATSA Palgyi Behu Balbu) the Mystic Diagram representing the Great Love of all the Buddhas, and the never-ending continuity of the Teachings of Buddha's Mind; the knot of Love; the thread which guides to happiness 7. SUPREME CIRCULAR BANNER OF VICTORY (DHVAJA Choggi Gyaltshan Doja) victory over negative influences; flag that celebrates the victory of Buddhism; the standard erected on the summit of the palace of salvation 8. PRECIOUS GOLDEN WHEEL OF DHARMA (CHAKRA Sergyi Khorlo Kurde) the Teaching of the Buddha; wheel of doctrine or religious law; the wheel which leads to perfection I have personally become very interested in Buddhism and its style of meditation and so this custom really gives me ideas.

Close ups of the inlays can be found there. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1121 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, March 16, 2006 - 7:25 am:    Andy: Scott's fretboard inlays are banjo inlays. Similar to what Jerry Garcia had on Wolf, Tiger and Rosebud. Bill, tgo
