Great to hear. I put abalone on 2 rods last night and 2 more tonite. Did a pair with blood red tint and they are smokin. The other 2 were raw abalone with no coloring, beautiful. I will post pics tomorrow or Firday.
I am actually in the process of writing an article for Rodmaker Magazine that will outine the steps for both the thin lam and the raw abalone and how to install the veneer. I am hoping to have the article completed by the late summer or sooner. Whenever I have the time and creative energy to put the words to screen.

Stay tuned.

Kevin
