I am a hand engraver and goldsmith working in northern California. Much of my engraving career has been comprised of work on musical instruments. I do a lot of work on top-shelf custom guitars. Many of my clients are musical instrument manufacturers like Martin Guitars and the Fender Custom Shop. I engrave the metal parts as well as the ivory or pearl inlays in the instruments. I do a lot of collaboration with inlay artist Larry Robinson. Last year I had a chance to work with Mr.Robinson on the Millionth Martin for Martin Guitars. Larry designed and executed the inlays, custom tuning machines,bridge pins and soundhole screen. He brought me in as a specialist to engrave the metal and ivory parts and to help with the fabrication of the metal parts. You can see the finished work on Larry's website: www.robinsoninlays.com I also do hand engraving for the trade as well as design and fabricate my own gold and platinum jewelery.; -
