In 1993 after many years as a historic toy-maker, I decided to try my hand at doing the inlay work on my husband Bill’s Mountain Dulcimers. Bill suggested I read James E. Patterson’s book on Pearl Inlay. Using it as a starting point I discovered the joy of hand cutting and inlaying shell. Over the years the way I do inlay has continuously changed and developed. As with so many things in life I find there is always more to learn.
