David makes wooden knobs for pretty much most of your custom builders in the market.
In fact, the koa knobs w brass inlay markers on my Nordstrand were made by him!

I went to do some work on one of my basses... I might have shown this before, some of you have seen it I think,

So this is something I've been itching to do for ages-

I painted the fingerboard metallic black with metallic purple lines extending halfway and fading out

Following which I coated it with epoxy and waited a few days for it to cure

End result-
