I looked back about 10 pages and didn't find much about this subject. Forgive me if its been answered before!
I want to do some inlay of crushed shell on my Kala KA-CE ukulele. I would like to do inlay of her name, "Charmaine," on the top of it.
I know the top is very thin, but I've had a lot of practice with wood carving (I make woodblock prints), and I'm confident I won't carve through the top. I'll probably use CA glue.
How do I prevent the glue from staining the mahogany? I have paraffin wax, would a coating of that work? After I finish, how do I clean up the top and refinish the uke?
Anyone who's done something like this, I'd love some guidance. If things go well I'll post pictures of it during and after
Thank you!
