an addition to my carbon fiber ddr-II

I'm going to try and get this photo up.
Using the G10 backspacer I cut out "notches" that matched pieces of mother of pearl I had cut into rectangles, approx. the width of the backspacer, using a diamond wheel on my Dremel. This went through the m.o.p. like butter. I glued the m.o.p. into place with a silicon epoxy and then using the diamond wheel (sanding side) and a lot of sandpaper laid flat, got the inlay down to the same width as the backspacer. You have to make sure it is the exact same width! I finished off with 1500grit sandpaper. I'm really pleased with the results.
By the way, 3M makes a plastic cleaner for fine scratches and a plastic polish, both work great on the Carbon Fiber. The handle now has a clear, shiny, "showroom" finish. I found these products at my nearby automotive parts supply store.
Thanks,
Dennis

Nice work, Dennis. I'm going to put that one in my hat....

Thanks for the tips and views. (thanks, Bob, for the help too!)

Very nice addition of pearl.
An inexpensive source for thin slices of pearl, abalone, and other interesting components helpful to knifemaking are guitar shop supply outlets like Stewart-MacDonald and Guitar Shop Supply.
