HOW TO CUT AND INLAY MOTHER OF PEARL ...Frequently asked questions:
1) Where do you buy your mother of pearl?
I buy my MOP from Andy DePaule at http://www.luthiersupply.com/index.html.Other suppliers are out there, but I like Andy and the product he provides.
2) What size MOP do you buy?

Yo whats up everybody in this video I get all the shelves to the right width by planning them down. I had to make sure that the designs on the tops of the sides were straight because they were rough cut at the scroll saw. It tookbe a while to sand all the parts but I finished them off with 220 grit. www.kostasworkshop.blogspot.com

I wanted to try my hand at making hand planes, the shop needs several.
Struggling with the design concept, I bought a book “Making Traditional Wooden Planes” by John M. Whelan, it was no novel but a good source of wood plane design info. It’s worth reading if you’re researching wooden hand planes.
Trying to keep the first plane simple I decided on making a small shoulder plane in the Krenov style.
Looking around my shop I found an old 1” chisel. It is harder than heck, so I took it a...
