This product is an inlay artist dream! It is made from
pure, all natural shell and is not Pearloid!!! It is
about the same thickness as a sheet of a few sheets 40 lb bond paper. It is thin
enough that with several coats of clear no inlay cavity is needed!!! If covered
with painter's Tape (low tack) it can be cut with sharp scissors or an X-Acto
knife and is perfect for creating custom headstocks or a "Tree of life" fret
board designed. You can easily cut custom logo or do nearly impossible
"lettering" for "Brand" names. It is flexible and a perfect for doing purfling
and binding without having to "break and miter" each piece to size saving
hours of production time without any loss of quality. You can also made custom
rosettes and other parts without having to create an inlay cavity! Inlay pieces
can be cut in a fraction of the time (and money) that it takes with full
thickness inlay blanks and without ANY compromise in the quality of the finish
product!!! MicroVeneer® can be easy color tinted in you home shop and
Scrimshaw and other artwork can be added to the mounting side of the piece that
is clearly visible through the veneer and will never wear off!!! It has
all the beauty of natural shell products, because it is natural shell and even
experts can not tell the veneers from full thickness blanks inlay work.
Common Uses:
Inlaying, Mosaic, Marquetry, Design Embellishments, Jewelry, Arts & Crafts, Pin
Shipping, Fishing Rods & Lures, Construction, Tiles, Shower Doors, Instrument
Building (Luthiers), Woodworking, Metalworking and 1000s of other uses
