Thanks Greg, I will check them out .

I checked them out but they are to thin for the corner purfling .
Anymore suggestions?

why not use a dye to color the natural wood and sand out the rest on like maple and bind and purfl the guitar with it?

[mikek]

Too much work to dye the strips you need to pressure cook the wood so the dye goes right thru .

[FRANK]

yea what he said pressure cook the dye in

Have you checked out the dyed veneers that LMII has? They come in a good variety of colors and in both 0.6 and 0.3mm thicknesses. You could lay up a nice multi-lined purfling pretty easy with the stuff.

Best,
Bob
