I’m working on my entry for the San Diego County Fair’s “Design In Wood” competition. It will be a guitar to fit the theme “Heros Re-Unite”. I’m building a guitar inspired by George Barris’ 1966 Batmobile. This will be the inlay on the back.

Wow. Amazing.
What kind of colors? I bought alcohol ink markers but cannot get anywhere near that level of detail.

This is made with pre dyed veneer. You can get it at Rockler woodworking stores or Amazon.

Wow. Yes, I’ve seen the veneer at Rockler. So the whole thing, including the detail on the faces, is inlay? That’s amazing.

Yes, everything is wood veneer, even the face details. I’ve dialed in my cutting technique to allow very small detail pieces without burning them up.
Thanks for checking it out.

Very nice inlay work. The colors that you have chosen fit the characters perfectly, and your name and logo on your is a nice touch too.

Thank you so much. It’s almost time for a new logo on the GF sled. That one has been on there for 2 years now.

That is terrific. The small pieces you cut to form the faces, especially the eyes are quite difficult to get right. It definitely looks like you are building the winner to me!

Wow, really great work. Makes me think of stained glass with the way you inlayed the woods together.
