Re: Zouk................

Very beautiful instruments! That bouziki looks incredible and the accent woods are a beautiful touch!

Total noob question - in the photo where the Dragon inlay is set on the unfinished board, it appears to be totally uncut. How do you go about making room for the frets without ruining the perfect placement of that inlay? Do you just carefully cut out the spots where the fret slots are after gluing it in?

I'm so intrigued by this, my Chinese zodiac is calling to me...

yes..

the inlay is laid onto the board and scribed around, then the ebony is removed and the inlay is glued in.
I then radius the board, and recut the fret slots..carefully!!!..
then onto binding and frets..
