Inlay Dots .050": Paua Abalone
Paua abalone — the most colorful nacreous shell in the world — in spectacular butterfly-wing blues, greens and purples. Sought after, hard to obtain, and unforgettable once inlaid.
Precision inlay dots, individually lathe-turned — not just core-drilled — for maximum uniformity from piece to piece. Dots are the classic choice for guitar fingerboard and side position markers, and they also shine in jewelry, box and furniture decoration, from single accents to elaborate nested geometric designs using many sizes.

Working with this shell
