Inlay Stringing For Sale

I offer 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 1/4", and 1mm wide inlay stringing. The ebony stringing is black, and the holly stringing is creamy white. The thicknesses vary, but typically are about .040 - .060" thick. They will fit snugly into the appropriately routed channel. Also available are 1/8" X 1/8" and 1/4 X 1/4" square pieces of ebony, holly, boxwood and satinwood.
Notice the router bit in the above picture. This is a 1/16" solid carbide router bit with a 1/8" shank, and is the perfect width for routing a groove for the 1/16" stringing. 1/32, 3/32, 1/8 and 1mm bits are also available. The router bits are $6.85 each - any size.
