Abalam Curved Strips: Paua Abalone Blue Ply
Paua abalone selected for intense electric-blue flash over the classic green ground. The bluest paua cut, for inlay that stops viewers mid-step.
Abalam laminated curved strips, cut across the veneer ply sheet for deep, consistent color that will not sand away, with no natural fracture lines. Computer-cut even widths and squared ends keep joints tight. Typically 3 pieces complete one guitar soundhole rosette.

Working with this shell
Dry-fit the rosette ring first, then glue. The 4.921 inch inside diameter suits standard soundhole rosettes; trim the arc ends for a seamless circle. Sort for color match before gluing — joints nearly disappear when neighboring pieces are matched.
SURFACE INLAY ONLY: these laminated strips are .050″ thick and are made for surface inlay work — purfling, binding, carving and sign making. Not recommended for reverse glass work due to thickness.
