    Really beautiful work and a fine demonstration of the resolution and smoothness of the desktop. Most would be satisfied with a filled in one piece fleur. Doing it as such fine line work is amazing, like your Logo.

    Thanks Scott and Dave!

    Karl, I use separate bits. For the pocket I used a 0.023 fret slot cutter as I've got a bunch of them. For the shell it was their specific 0.020 cutter designed for shell. I'm sure I could have used the shell, but each bit is optimized for certain materials.
