Works in firefox, but not IE8. If I had to guess, the image isn't really a jpeg underneath, and IE8 is refusing to render it because of that. | ||

You can open the picture in a picture editing program (Paint, Photoshop) Won't show in IE here either... This is what the picture looks like in paint:  | ||

Ooops! It must be in CMYK mode rather than RGB. This isn't the first time I've done this. Thanks for the help, Flip! | ||

Cyan Magenta Yellow and blacK (CMYK). Graphic artists tend to use images defined in these colors rather than Red Green Blue (RGB). Wikipedia knows way more than me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model Bradley | ||

James has the scroll inlays in the fingerboard and also the nameplate. Here's the plate on its own:  And inlaid in the fingerboard:  I saw that the thorns for the rose and much of the stem was already cut out. There will likely be more inlay updates very soon. It's looking great. | ||

Jim, could you tell me what the neck woods are? They look amazing, and so does the cocobolo. I really want to see this one! Greg | ||

Some nice things to look at:     It's a really lovely design and it's translated to the inlay oh so nice. Just ready for the flowers and the falling petals now. The neck is the standard Tribute recipe of Western Flame Maple, Purpleheart and Cherry. | ||

No pics, but the material for the rose came in and James has been cutting the petals. They look great. I will post images for you as soon as the parts are globbed up with glues! | ||

The red is a custom-cast acrylic that includes ground up mother of pearl in the mix. The pink is a reconstituted stone, but I'm sorry I don't recall which. Here's a couple of shots with the fingerboard inlay completed:  I love the falling petals.  | ||
