Just inlaid a rosewood fretboard, using the classic Diamonds & Squares pattern. I'll post pics soon. It will be on a mahogany neck, which will attach to a pot with my V1 Yates ring.

	Earls 5 says: 2/11/2011 7:16:11 PM Is this the one that got broke when you slipped & fell?
	banjotef says: 2/13/2011 5:37:56 AM Earls 5: yes, unfortunately. Right away, I ordered another fretboard and inlays.
	Earls 5 says: 2/15/2011 7:52:11 PM good attitude!
	banjotef says: 3/7/2011 5:31:09 PM Hey Earl: The new fretboards arrived, and they are beautiful! Murrell at FQMS picked out some real beauties. They have a lot of reddish brown and black.
	banjotef says: 3/15/2011 6:31:50 PM HEY! I found the other half of the broken fretboard. It was in one of the manager's mailbox in the upstairs office. I'm not sure it's usable, though. I was trying to piece it together. If the re-glue is not perfectly aligned side to side, it will definitely screw up the intonation. Not sure I can use it, but it makes a nice keepsake.
