Precision 'Drum Wrap'Here you are William. This is only a bit paler than I need, and bust as 'busy' a swirl. I will likely do some amber lacquer experiments on it to get it right. Robbie, thanks for that. It would not be accurate for what I need though...

Kerry...once you have the material, how do you replicate the design? It looks like its hot stamped.

That shure is a very nice headstalk Kerry.

 Robbie, I am just seeing your 'hot stamped' post right now.

Speaking about these headstocks, historically, there are at least several dozen that have been photographed that have totally blank MOTS headstocks. It is always startling to see, and they are only on the vera last KK branded headstocks.  

 That being said, I would rather not just be doing that at all.  I would love to hear/read more about the hot stamping process of these things. Do you know some links? How about anyone in this day and age that is actually doing this? I imagine it could be quite a process to get a finished product?

Kerry "Hot Foil Stamping" is what your looking for. I remember doing this a graphics class way back when.
