I cut the wood ring out of Brazilian Rosewood. Then cut a channel in the top and glued the wood ring. After that dried, the ring was scraped flushwith the top and two additional rings were cut in the top adjacent to the rosewood ring. Is this picture one of the outside rings of a purfling strip, (b/w) then a teflon strip the same width as the abalone strips that will eventually replace the teflon and then another purfling strip are glued into the chanel outside the wooden ring
This shows a dry fit of purfling and teflon (larger all white strip) in the inner groove
pearl replaces the teflon strip.
the teflon was pulled out after all the glue dried. (pretty easy to do since the glue won't stick to the teflon
pearl strips were fit into the teflon groove and then superglued in place.
The top is sanded flush and the profile is cut out
Another shot showing abalone rings around the wood. This shold really brighten up under finish
