Traditional Curved Strips: Green Abalone Heart
Green abalone heart from the shell's central muscle area — very dark with dense burly figure throughout. The darkest, most dramatic green abalone cut; very limited by nature of the shell.
Traditional solid-shell strips cut from genuine solid shell — not laminate — in random lengths averaging about 1 inch. Strip ends are not squared; square them with a file or nip them with sharp side-cutters. Figure about 70 inches per large guitar body edge and 15 inches per soundhole rosette; a Martin D-45 style guitar takes about 290 inches.

Working with this shell
Always order extra, especially for color-matched work. Take care matching adjoining ends and joints become almost invisible; or deliberately fade from one color to another for a graduated effect. Wear a respirator when sanding — shell dust is hazardous.
