Well, finally I did this. The brief process of inlaying a hair comb right here.
Of course first I need a sketch on my comb and my wife do it for me:
Next step is cutting a groove for the brass ribbon:
Then I use a lathe for cutting a mother of pearl:
After this phase I cut a space for mother of pearl peaces:
And the final steps are grinding and polishing the comb. Usually I use a dentist`s drill for these operations. And after that I have the comb in beech inlaid with brass and mother of pearl saturated with linseed oil:

Hi Zebrano;
Excellent work, although based on the changes happening to your fingernails, from photo one on, shows this work is very hard on them. You might want to consider a new vocation. LOL
Beautiful job.
Lee

Thanks.
To Lee about my fingernails: Never mind! I have some kits of fingernails. It depends on work which I propose to do :-)
