Very informative, I'm wondering could the inlay as well as a coat of finish could serve as the under wrap in place of a tradition thread based under wrap? Thank you, I'm always learning from your videos
There is different types of abalone veneer. Some you use a heat gun, which I find easier, and then others you have to soak. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice work and very good instructions on Abalone Veneer, What brand of Veneer is this and how can I buy it.

Yes it can, and thank you for watching and commenting.
Found the video! Thanks for the info.
I got my abalone from Mudhole. Not great looking. Any sourcing recommendations?
Which one did you order from them?
I guess you like Heatgun vs. soaking it in hot water? Tips on not getting cracks?

Did/do you any cracking issues and any tips on dealing with the seam (looks)?
@@travisthompson3700 - yes, cracking issues with the water technique, so that is why I prefer the heat gun type of abalone.
Can you use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun
You could, but it may take a little longer to warm up. I would use a heat gun if you can get one though. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching.
If you run a cover thread and you will lose your seam
Thank you for watching and commenting Forrest.
