have to be a luthier to learn inlay.  It is an art that can be done with minimal tools and materials cost.  Anyone with an artistic eye, steady hand, and patience is a candidate for inlay art.  I would love to have you come to my shop and learn how to create inlay art for yourself.  The classes in my shop are one on one, and I offer several different types.</div> <bR> <div> <U>Beginner Inlay

since it takes more than 5 days to complete.  You can bring a picture or a sketch that you want to turn into an inlay and an object that you would like to inlay it into.   Curves are okay on the object as long as it is not too tight of a curve.</div> <bR> <div> Complex Inlay Class Cost:  $500</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=168 BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <IMG
