This Inlay Course is is spectacular! I’ve watched the original DVD course, and although his new course might seem to be the same, it absolutely is a new take. His experience in teaching and doing inlay work really shows. In Course 1, he has teased out everything you need to know to create your own peg head, signature, and logo designs using all the materials available to today’s luthier. Then Courses 2 and 3 show in detail how to create and execute more advanced designs. Larry has freed me from the constraint of only using what I can purchase already cut out. He has made me believe I can tackle designs that enhance my instrument building. Thanks Robbie and Larry for this new version. Elaine
